In the CCTV footage, when the robbers attacked Shanmugavelu from the back with sickles. Senthamarai being an older woman on seeing it did not cry or shout for help. She took on the robber head-on with just chairs and with whatever she finds. She not only saved her elderly husband but proved to the world that women are braver than what they seem to look.
Then both the couple started attacking the robbers. Since they expected mute surrender and crying from the elderly couple, the two robbers were stunned. Though armed with sickles, they ran away.
