Visakhapatnam: A shocking violation of trust unfolded in Anakapalli on January 26, leaving a 67-year-old woman alone and shaken. Living independently, the victim was targeted by a familiar face – a man she knew, who posed as a cable operator to gain entry into her home.
The nightmarish ordeal came to light only later, when the woman's daughter visited and found her in distress. Initially suspecting a health issue like a heart attack, she rushed her to the hospital.
However, the truth emerged upon the arrival of the victim's son from Hyderabad. Reviewing CCTV footage, he discovered the chilling reality: a brutal attack, a forceful snatching of the woman's 10-tola gold chain.
DSP Subbaraju confirmed the incident, stating that the woman, still in shock, has been moved to a ward. "We have registered a case and are actively investigating," he assured.
