A 30-year-old woman suffered a bullet injury in an alleged case of robbery at her home in Sushant Golf City police station area here on Friday night.

According to people privy to the investigation, two dozen cameras installed near the house are being scanned and police have been able to fetch some of the footage. It is seen that the criminals used a bike in the burglary.
