In a disturbing incident that has shaken residents of Bengaluru, three unidentified men allegedly forced a woman to transfer money after holding her pet cat at knifepoint. The terrifying home invasion occurred on Monday evening in what police are calling a premeditated robbery.
The Terrifying Home Invasion
The incident unfolded around 7 pm on Monday when one of the accused repeatedly knocked on the woman's door. When she opened the door to investigate, the situation quickly turned dangerous. The man immediately snatched her phone, preventing her from calling for help.
As this was happening, two other accomplices forced their way into the flat. The trio then began ransacking the house, searching for valuables. The situation escalated when one of the men produced a knife and threatened the woman's pet cat.
The Knifepoint Threat and Forced Money Transfer
With the weapon pointed at her beloved pet, the woman had no choice but to comply with the criminals' demands. The assailants forced her to transfer money from her accounts under the threat of violence against her cat.
Police officials confirmed that the men spent considerable time inside the flat, systematically going through her belongings while maintaining control over both the woman and her pet. The emotional trauma of having her animal companion threatened added another layer of cruelty to the already terrifying robbery.
