In a dramatic act of self-defence, a one-month pregnant woman, Kajal Chavan, from Palghar used a wrestling move called ‘dhobi pachad’ to foil a robbery and get one of the thieves nabbed. The 33-year-old woman bravely fought off two intruders who had broken into her home in Adarsh Nagar on Monday, saving gold ornaments and cash worth nearly Rs 10 lakh. The other thief managed to flee.
