A 62-year-old man was beat­en and he and his wife were tied up dur­ing a vi­o­lent home in­va­sion in Bar­rack­pore on Sun­day night.

Around 8 p.m., the man was in the kitchen of their GP Road home when three masked in­trud­ers en­tered. One of them struck him sev­er­al times in the head, caus­ing him to cry out in pain. His 47-year-old wife, who was in the bath­room at the time, rushed to his aid af­ter hear­ing his screams.

The sus­pects then forced the cou­ple in­to their bed­room and tied their hands and feet us­ing a bed­sheet. They stole a black iPhone 10 val­ued at $1,200, a black Sam­sung 10s phone worth $1,300, a brown wal­let con­tain­ing $300, gold jew­ellery, and $800 in cash.
