Showing exceptional courage, an 8-year-old from Faridabad foiled a robbery attempt despite being threatened by two men, one of whom pointed a pistol at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Thursday evening, 8-year-old Kritika was sitting at the counter of her family’s store – \u00a0Ravi Bhati Hardware on Sohna Road – and completing her school work when three men arrived on a bike. Two of the men, who had their faces covered with helmets and masks, accosted Kritika and one of them pointed a country made pistol at her, demanding that she tell them where the money was kept.<\/p>\n
A video, captured on CCTV cameras installed in the store, shows Kritika remaining calm even as the men push her chair and open a drawer looking for cash. Refusing to give up the location of the money, the girl reached for a bell near the counter, alerting her family members in their house upstairs.<\/p>\n
Realising what had happened and seeing the family members approaching, the two men climbed on their bike, which was kept running by their third accomplice, and fled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kritika’s actions have earned her praise from her family and neighbours, who applauded her bravery and the calmness shown by her in handling the situation.<\/p>\n
The family has not filed a police complaint.<\/p>\n
