Two miscreants, carrying country-made pistols, broke into the railway quarter of Joydeep Banerjee, a booking clerk at the station, at 1.30 am, police sources said. They held Banerjee and his wife at gunpoint and ransacked the house for more than an hour and took some cash and jewellery. On being refused the keys of the booking counter, they beat him up with an iron rod, critically injuring him.
They then broke open the booking counter and took away whatever cash was there. The police added that the troublemakers took money worth Rs 10, 000.
Banerjee is at present at the Barasat State General Hospital, in critical condition.
“Preliminary investigation points towards the involvement of a local gang,” Barun Mullick, Superintendent of Railway Police (Sealdah division) said.
