Their hands and legs were tied with cloth and their mobile phones were snatched and later thrown into the fields.

Loot worth lakhs
The gang opened the cupboard with an iron rod as Wadhwani declined to give the key. They robbed ₹1 lakh in cash, two gold chains, three cell phones and escaped. Some of the gang members kept watch outside the premises so that no alarm could be raised.
Police have filed a case and initiated a search for the accused.
