Ahmedabad: Dr Prakash Darji, one of the top nephrologists of the city, was unnerved that the safety of his younger son, Bhavya, was put at stake even at home.

The doctor said that the value of the jewellery robbed on Monday afternoon was of little consequence, but the daring daylight robbery in a plush neighbourhood underscores the growing confidence of criminals in the city.

“This robber has to be arrested. Because if he goes scot-free, he will carry out more such daring attempts which is not good for the society,” said Dr Darji.

“In such cases, robbers can inflict damage on a person or endanger life. Such acts have to be stopped as unlawful elements cannot be allowed to take citizens to ransom,” said Dr Darji.

The nephrologist at Zydus Hospital said that he had come home around 1.15pm and left around 1.30pm after a quick lunch. His driver took his wife to the house of his elder son who has recently become a parent.

“My younger son was reading on the sofa. He must have dozed off. Meanwhile, this man wearing a helmet entered the house from the rear door. Our maid who was working in the backyard had gone to the washroom. He locked her up and went inside. He went straight up. The noise woke my son who followed the robber,” said Dr Darji.
