KOLKATA: A 70-year-old woman, living alone at Keorapukur under Regent Park police station, has been moved to an old age home by cops after she was allegedly threatened by an unidentified youth on Monday night. Cops said the woman, who is financially not so sound, owns a 12-cottah plot. Cops have put her house under their observation.
The woman’s daughter-in-law said that the accused had threatened to take a revenge against the victim.
“All her three daughters are married and they find it difficult to look after her. The woman claimed that on Monday night, a youth had climbed up the wall of her house and attempted a robbery. Though the woman raised an alarm, the accused asked for money and hit her before he escaped. Everyone in the area is aware of her financial condition. We think someone is trying to ensure that she sells off the property. Earlier on two occasions, she was allegedly threatened and scared by somebody posing as ghosts,” said a police officer.
