The Annur police said Meenakshi Sundaram (66), a farmer from Lakshmi Garden in Kovilpalayam, and his 60-year-old wife Shymala had gone to bed on Tuesday night, locking the doors of their house. But the windows close to the front door were open.
On Wednesday, around 1 am, the burglars opened the front door with the help of the open windows near it. The gang attacked the elderly couple with a wooden log. They robbed two sovereigns of gold and valuable things from the house before fleeing.
