In a heist that can be described as a scene straight from a film, four men forced their way inside the apartment of an Indian salesman, out of which two of them tried to kill and him, and stole Dh385,000 from his safe.

The salesman, who ran an unauthorised money exchange business, was at his apartment when he received a call from an acquaintance asking about his whereabouts. 

Soon after, at 2.30 pm, his doorbell rang and he opened the door to four persons standing at his doorstep who barged their way inside, tried to stab him, stole the money and ran away. 

Ten minutes after this ordeal, the 25-year-old salesman called the police.

Victim’s testimony

“On hearing someone knocking on the door, I opened it and four persons forced their way inside. They asked me where I had kept my money, but I didn’t respond. 

They started searching the flat and when they didn’t find the money, one of them took out a knife and pointed it in my face … they threatened to kill me. Then I was stabbed in the stomach. The culprits tied me up and coerced me to lead them to the safe where I had kept the money … then they taped my mouth, stole the money and ran away. 

I freed myself after 10 minutes and called the police,” he testified to prosecutors,” he told the prosecutors according to Khaleej Times.
