WATCH: How Mother-Daughter duo fight robbers in Hyderabad?

Amita Mehot, 42, and her daughter were present at home when the doorbell rang at 2 pm. Upon answering, their maid was confronted by two individuals who claimed to be delivering a parcel. However, the situation quickly escalated when one of the men, identified as Sushil, brandished a gun, while his accomplice, Premchand, held a knife to the maid's throat.

Undeterred by the assailants' weapons and threats, the mother and daughter refused to comply with their demands. Instead, they fought back fiercely, kicking Sushil and raising an alarm for help. The brazen act of resistance caught the criminals off guard, causing them to retreat momentarily.

Despite the danger, the women's bravery didn't end there. CCTV footage captured their relentless pursuit of one of the fleeing robbers, showing their determination to bring him to justice. While neighbours managed to apprehend Premchand, Sushil initially evaded capture but was later apprehended by the authorities.

In a surprising turn of events, it was revealed that the perpetrators had previously worked for the family approximately a year ago, adding a chilling dimension to the incident. Prompt action was taken by law enforcement, and a case was registered based on Amita's complaint.

Recognizing the extraordinary valour displayed by the mother-daughter duo, Rohini Priyadarshini, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North), honoured them in a ceremony attended by their proud husband and father, Navratan. Their brave stance against criminality serves as a shining example of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
