Two armed persons stole ₹3 lakh in cash from a woman living in a farmhouse in Urkehalli on the outskirts of Kunigal after firing at the residents who tried to resist on Wednesday.
The accused, wearing helmets, entered the farmhouse and asked Pushpalatha for water. They followed her when she went inside the house to fetch water and took her handbag containing the cash, said the police.
Ms. Pushpalatha returned with the water and found the accused carrying her handbag and raised the alarm. The accused threatened her at gunpoint.
