Bhopal Police Urge Domestic Help Verification After Attack On Elderly Man In Awadhpuri · freepressjournal.in

A retired officer in Bhopal was attacked at home during an attempted robbery.

Three men reportedly entered his house and used a hammer.

Police said a domestic worker who had worked there for about six months was involved.

She allegedly planned the robbery with her boyfriend and others.

Police warned that workers can learn about a family’s routines and belongings.

They said checking only an identity card is not enough.

Residents should also provide addresses, phone numbers and previous work details for verification.

Older people should avoid sharing information about money, jewellery, bank accounts and travel plans.

Police are conducting verification drives and asking people to use the online system.
