Garg said his sister Nikita called him around 11.30 pm on the same day, informing him that the house had been robbed and both their parents were unconscious.
After Nikita called the police, a police team reached the house and admitted the elderly couple in critical condition to a hospital where they are being treated, officials said.
After returning home around 3.30 am on Friday, Garg found that Rs 35 lakh cash, and jewellery worth about Rs 1.5 crore were missing from the safe locker in his room. Apart from this, the accused also took the car before fleeing the house, the police said.
According to Garg’s complaint, his father told him that the servants served them food on Thursday night, and after eating they became unconscious.
Garg said both the domestic helps were recently hired. Virendra started working two weeks ago while Yashoda joined him only a week ago, the complaint added.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered at the DLF Phase 1 police station here, the police said.
The entire incident was captured in a CCTV camera installed in the house, a senior police officer said.
The footage revealed that after rendering the elderly unconscious on Thursday night, the duo were joined in by two others who came to the house with tools, the officer said.
The four accused then broke all the electronically locked safes by hitting them with tools. The group then fled the house in the owner’s Innova car with the stolen jewellery and cash, the officer added.
