Amita Mehot, 42, and her daughter were at home when the doorbell rang at 2 pm; two men told the maid, who opened the door, they had to deliver a parcel. They were told to wait outside but one of them – Sushil – pulled out a gun and his accomplice – Premchand – put a knife to the maid’s throat.
The two then forced their way into the house and demanded that all valuables be handed over to them. They did not, however, reckon on the brave mother-daughter duo, who kicked Sushil and screamed for help.
