The victims were reported safe from any bad injury. Subhash Gupta, 60 and his wife were taking a morning walk near their home in Malabar Hills yesterday when two men on a Motorcycle stopped them under the pretext of asking for directions. As Mr. Gupta was giving directions, one of the robbers pointed a knife at him and ordered them to keep quiet. He then relieved Mrs. Gupta of her jewellery and instructed Mr. Gupta to hand over his ring and watch. When he refused, a struggle ensued. Meanwhile, his accomplice grabbed a helmet and hit Mr. Gupta on the head with it. On seeing this, his wife started screaming. One of their neighbours, R. Subramaniam, who was taking his dog for a walk, heard the screams and went to investigate. On seeing Subramaniam and his dog, the robbers fled. "I was taking my dog for a walk when I heard someone shouting for help. Knowing that something was wrong, I ran there as fast as I could. Before I reached the scene, the robbers fled on a Motorbike. They were probably afraid of my Rottweiler." Mr. Gupta, who suffered a small cut on his head, was given outpatient treatment at a private clinic. He said that it was a horrifying experience as he never expected the two men would attack his wife and him. He thought that they were lost and needed help. State Police Chief Abhinav Khadse advised him and the people to be more careful in giving help to strangers. The guards also must be stricter in letting people from entering any residence without proper permission. He added that the suspects, aged between 25 and 30, were believed to be local petty thieves. He said there had been similar incident last week when two men approached a factory worker who was on her way home after work. The duo then relieved her gold chain and cash. He advised the residents to be alert and report to police any suspicious looking characters lurking in their area
