A video of a woman stopping a robbery bid at her home in Punjab's Amritsar has surfaced on social media. The woman was drying clothes on the roof when she spotted three men, wearing masks, lurking suspiciously around the house. She kept tracking their movement and ran downstairs as one of the men jumped inside the premises of her house.
In the video, the woman can be seen holding the main door shut even as the robbers keep pushing it from outside. After a minute, she pulled a heavy sofa and kept it against the door. Soon, two children came to the room and the woman was seen dialling a number on her phone.
The video was shared by an X user with a caption that read, "Robbers tried to loot a house, But the robbers could not do anything in front of the brave woman present in the house. The brave woman single-handedly overpowered three robbers. Amritsar."
Woman Praised For Her Courage
"Seeing this brave woman stand her ground against three robbers truly warms my heart! It's a powerful reminder that strength comes in all forms. Her courage not only protects her home but also inspires everyone around her. Hats off to her!" a user wrote on X. A woman said, "We want more powerful women in society like her, great."
People said where there is a will, there is a way. "Where there is a will there will always be a way. Never give up. Especially in such desperate circumstances," a user said.
"Her actions are inspiring and it's a great reminder of the strength and resilience people can show in the face of danger. Hopefully, the authorities are taking steps to ensure her continued safety," said a user, while another wrote, "That's the strength of a woman—when it comes to protecting herself, her family, and her home, she becomes the true hero."
