Robbery and Assault at Ex-IAS Officer's Home
There was a scary incident at the home of a former government officer named Puja Khedkar in Pune.
Puja says a house helper gave her and her parents some medicine that made them sleepy and tied them up.
The helper then took some valuable things like their phones.
Puja woke up, freed herself, and called the police.
The police are now checking to see if this really happened.
Puja and her family are okay now, but the police are still trying to find out what exactly happened.
Puja Khedkar alleged that a house help sedated and tied up her family, stealing valuables.
The incident occurred at the family's bungalow on Baner Road, Pune, late Saturday night.
Puja Khedkar claimed to have freed herself and alerted the police using another phone.
The police have initiated a probe but no written complaint has been lodged yet.
A case was previously registered against the Khedkar couple for abduction and misrepresentation in a UPSC exam application.
