Police in Assam have arrested two individuals following an armed robbery at a doctor's residence in Nagaon, where the doctor and his wife were attacked, prompting a thorough investigation into the crime.
Two persons were arrested on Saturday in connection with the armed robbery at a doctor's residence in Assam's Nagaon district, police said.
Five people are believed to have been involved in the crime, and investigators have gathered important leads, they said.
"A breakthrough will be made soon. We cannot reveal further details at the moment in the interest of the investigation," SSP Partha P Das said.
Doctor Ranjit Saikia and his wife Ruprekha were allegedly attacked with iron rods during the robbery at their residence in the early hours of Friday. Their seven-year-old son was unharmed.
Police said Saikia is in stable condition, while Ruprekha remains critical and is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Guwahati.
Inspector General of Police Shivaprasad Ganjawala visited the crime scene on Friday night, while a forensic team collected evidence earlier in the day.
The family claimed a theft had taken place at the same house a few months ago. Valuables worth around Rs 27 lakh were stolen, and the accused were later arrested.
They also alleged possible political rivalry behind the latest attack, claiming that Saikia had links with the local Congress candidate.
