Two days after a senior citizen was killed by her domestic help at Nepean Sea Road, a caregiver seriously assaulted and robbed an 81-year-old woman, Kunjbala Ashok Mehta, at her Juhu residence. The Juhu police tracked down the accused, Ankit Patil, a resident of Badlapur, to Kamathipura. The police stated that Patil, who had previously worked as a waiter in a restaurant, assaulted Mehta and fled with gold ornaments worth Rs 1.25 lakh.

The traumatised victim resides with her husband Ashok Jayantilal Mehta, 84, who fell a few days ago at home. The couple’s daughter hired Patil via BHN Home Health Care agency at Andheri East on March 13.
