Jalandhar, Punjab: An attempted robbery at the home of retired Indian Air Force personnel Pawan Sharma in Dhilwan village, Jalandhar, was narrowly prevented in the early hours of Sunday. The incident has alarmed the local community and sparked concerns over rising security threats in residential neighborhood
According to sources, the retired serviceman, who lives with his wife, was targeted by unidentified intruders late at night. The couple’s children, employed outside the city, were not present at the time.
The robbers managed to break into the house and locked the elderly couple inside their bedroom from the outside. They then proceeded to another room where valuables were believed to be stored. While attempting to break open the safe, the noise alerted the retired person, who woke up and began shouting for help.
Startled by the commotion, the intruders fled the scene immediately, leaving the robbery incomplete. The ex-serviceman quickly contacted his neighbours, who rushed over, unlocked the bedroom door, and helped the couple out safely.
According to eyewitness accounts, the robbers were dressed unusually — wearing only black underwear and vests, with their faces covered in black paint to avoid identification. Their strange appearance has added a chilling and bizarre twist to the incident.
Local police arrived at the scene shortly after being informed.
