Kolkata: Gold loan firm looted at gun point, woman shot
According to reports, at least three armed miscreants stormed a branch of IIFL Gold Loan company in the morning and robbed gold and cash at gun point.
While escaping the area after operation, dacoits opened fire and a nearly 34-year-old lady, Sharbari Ghosh, was shot.
The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is being treated in a serious condition, according to reports.
Police, however, have started probe into the matter while none has been arrested so far in connection with the case.
"We are examining CCTV footage and quizzing eye-witnesses to identify the miscreants," a senior official of Barrackpore Police Commissionerate told IBNS.
