People face difficult times bravely on rare occasions, especially when someone is pointing a gun at you and you're just 8 years old. Such courage was displayed by 8-year-old Kritika from the NIT area of Haryana's Faridabad, who used her quick thinking to force armed criminals to flee.

According to reports, on Thursday evening, Kritika was sitting at the counter of Ravi Bhati Hardware shop on Sohna Road, doing her schoolwork. During this time, three criminals arrived at the shop on a motorcycle. They had covered their faces with cloth and were wearing helmets. One of the criminals pulled out what appeared to be a pistol, threatened the child, and demanded the money kept in the counter.

Even in this situation, Kritika did not lose courage and fearlessly rang the bell installed near her chair. As soon as family members upstairs heard the bell, they immediately rushed to the shop. Seeing the family members coming, the criminals quickly got on their bike and fled.

Meanwhile, the child's father, Ravi Bhati, said that CCTV cameras were installed inside and outside his shop, which captured the entire incident. In the footage, the child can be seen sitting at the counter, while the criminals appear to be threatening her. One of the criminals was already prepared on the bike, while the other two were standing near the counter. Despite this incident, the family has not filed any complaint with the police. However, there is considerable discussion about this incident in the area, and people are praising the child's courage.
