Amritsar: Brave woman single-handedly stops robbery, stops three intruders from entering home
Amritsar: A courageous woman in Amritsar’s Verka thwarted a robbery attempt single-handedly, drawing widespread attention on social media after footage of the incident surfaced.
In the video, the woman is seen using her body weight to hold the main door against the force of three masked intruders. She then cleverly barricaded the door with a sofa while screaming for help.
Reports indicate that the woman noticed the suspects lingering outside her home while she was drying clothes on her terrace. When one of the robbers jumped over the wall and attempted to forcefully come inside the house, she rushed downstairs and managed to slam the door just in time.
After barricading the door with a sofa, she immediately grabbed her phone to make calls for help. CCTV footage also showed two young children in the house as the woman frantically sought assistance.
The police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the attempted robbery.

Chandrashekhar Swamiji apologises for remark on denying voting rights to Muslims
"If my statement has upset our Muslim brothers, I deeply regret it."
Bengaluru: Kumara Chandrashekharanath Swamiji, head of the Vishva Okkaliga Mahasansthana Mutt, has expressed regret over his controversial statement suggesting that "Muslims should be denied voting rights."
In a press release, Swamiji clarified, "Muslims are also citizens of this country. Like everyone else, they too have voting rights. If my statement yesterday has caused discomfort to our Muslim brothers, I sincerely apologise for it."
He further added, "Okkaligas are inherently tolerant of all religions. We have always treated people of every faith equally. Our Mutt maintains cordial relations with Muslims, and they frequently visit us. Similarly, we attend their weddings and other joyous occasions. Hence, there is no intolerance towards this community." Swamiji appealed to the public to disregard the controversy surrounding his remark.
The controversial statement was made during a farmers' rally, ‘Raita Gharjana,’ organised by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, Karnataka Pradesh, at Freedom Park, Bengaluru, on Tuesday. Addressing the gathering, Swamiji had said, "A law should be enacted to deny voting rights to the Muslim community, and the Wakf Board should be abolished."
The remark drew widespread criticism from political leaders and the public alike. Following the backlash, Swamiji issued his apology, stating, "Muslims are also citizens of this country. Like everyone else, they too have voting rights. If my statement yesterday has caused discomfort to our Muslim brothers, I sincerely apologise for it."
