Armed robbers attacked a retired armyman and his three family members before looting cash and valubles in Bihar's Katihar district, a police office said on Thursday.
The robbers raided the house of the ex-armyman Santlal Sah located at Sirsa Chowk late on Wednesday night and assaulted him and his wife Sulochana Devi and two others before looting cash and valubales, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Rakesh Kumar said.
"The injured persons were admitted to a hospital where the attending doctors referred them to Siligudi in view of their critical condition," he said.
The details of loot of cash and valuables were being assessed, Kumar said.
Meanwhile, the local people took to streets to protest against rise in robbery cases in the district and adjoining areas and blocked Katihar-Purnia road for six hours before torching a liqour shop, the sources said.
Senior officials rushed to the spot and pacified the agitators.
