Hyderabad: In a day light robbery, two people entered the house of a chartered accountant in NRI Colony in Rajendranagar on Tuesday morning, and robbed a couple.
The duo attacked the house owner P. Kumar Singh with a knife, and threatened his wife before fleeing with 30 grams of gold ornaments, three mobile phones and Rs 5,000 in cash.
