NEW DELHI, Jan 5: Dacoits struck late in the evening today at the house of a doctor near New Friends Colony in South Delhi and decamped with Rs 10,000 and gold jewellery. According to the police, the five unidentified men gained entry into the house, 789/7 Zakir Nagar, after announcing that they were friends of the owner, Dr Ghazala Ahmed, a Unani doctor.
