A year-old retired IRS officer was injured in a knife attack by an alleged burglar at his Vasant Kunj house in south Delhi early Sunday, police said.

Abhay Kumar Singh and his wife Anupama, who also suffered minor wounds, were rushed to the AIIMS where they took treatment and were discharged.

Police have arrested Jitender, 38, a desperate burglar, in connection with the incident, an officer said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Rohit Meena said that an incident of attempted burglary was reported at Vasant Kunj South Police Station around 1.15 am.

The incident happened when Singh was sleeping with his wife in his bedroom and his son and servant were in another part of the house.

“Around 1 am, Singh was woken up by a loud noise from the balcony adjacent to their bedroom. He saw a man entering their bedroom through the sliding door. Upon seeing the intruder, Singh started shouting, waking his wife. The intruder then injured Abhay and his wife with a knife,” the DCP said.

The ruckus woke up other people in the house and who bolted the thief inside the bedroom. He, however, managed to escape from the balcony, Meena said.

In the wake of the incident, police formed six teams and launched a manhunt.

At length, Jitendra, who originally hails from Meerut, was nabbed with the knife in his possession, the officer said.
