Two women, a mother and her teenage daughter, daringly thwarted an attack by two armed robbers at their residence in Begumpet on Thursday afternoon.
The accused, identified as Sushil Kumar and Premchandra, both from Uttar Pradesh, reportedly gained entrance into the residence, in the bylanes of Begumpet, by posing as courier boys. While one of them had his helmet on, the other wore a face mask and a cap to conceal their identity, North Zone DCP Rohini Priyadarshini said.
What the intruders did not count on was the fact that Amita Mahnot, the landlady, was an expert in martial arts.
