A 71-year-old resident of Guru Nanak Nagar in Khar (West) was made to consume 30 sleeping pills by her caretaker, who then walked away with gold worth Rs 5 lakh and Rs 60,000 in cash from her home. Meherunnisa Khan, who suffers from arthritis, regained consciousness only after four days at Holy Family Hospital, after her neighbour found her unconscious. The Bandra police arrested the caretaker from Chhattisgarh last morning.
