One of the gang beat the man with a metal bar as his girlfriend watched in horror. Ranshi then helped another man ransack the house. When police arrived at the house in Hyde, Greater Manchester, Ranshi tried to flee by leaping from an upstairs window, said prosecutor Adam Lodge. But he fractured his spine as he landed and was arrested.Ranshi, a charity worker whose father Mita is an optician, had never been in trouble with police before. He grew up in a sprawling detached home in Sale and was a pupil at William Hulmes Grammar School before it scrapped its £7,400-a-year fees. Ranshi, who is studying at the University of Bradford, was a talented schoolboy golfer who won a hat-trick of top junior trophies at Washington Golf Club.He denied any wrongdoing and said he was forced to commit the burglary by other men. But a jury found him guilty of aggravated burglary after a trial at Manchesters Minshull Street Crown Court. Judge Mushtaq Khokhar told Ranshi: I still find it difficult as to why you would become involved in something like this, with the parents you have. His father Mita declined to comment on the case. But a neighbour said: They had everything, his family did everything for him and he never wanted for anything perhaps that was the problem. You could not meet a nicer family. They will be devastated. 10 comments Source - http://www.punjaboutlook.com/sikh-students-bright-future-destroyed-by-one-night-of-violent-madness/
