Businessman Manojkumar Jain (43) was grievously injured in an attack by a gang of six dacoits in the wee hours yesterday. The incident occurred at the victim’s Durgavihar Niwas Society flat at Ashirwad Colony in Transport Nagar, Nigdi. The offenders entered the apartment by cutting the grills of a window and threatened to kill the family, including Jain’s two daughters.

The victim has been admitted to a private hospital in Nigdi for further treatment. His 22-year-old daughter Shreshta has lodged a complaint against six unknown persons. According to her, Jain, his wife Babita (42), and daughters Shreshta and Yamini (15) were sleeping in their rooms at the time. Around 3.30 am, six dacoits stole into the building premises and after then entered Jain’s flat. The miscreants had their faces covered with handkerchiefs.
