University student’s ‘bright future’ destroyed by one night of violent madness

Ruined future: Gurinder Ranshi, 23, was two years into a degree to become an optician when he was caught by police raiding a couple’s home with a masked gang

A university student is starting a jail sentence after he ‘threw away’ his bright future by taking part in a terrifying raid on a couple’s home.

Former private schoolboy Gurinder Ranshi, 23, was two years into a degree course to become an optician when he joined an armed masked gang who burst into a house and robbed a couple. 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 Hulme’s 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 Withington 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 Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court.

Ranshi, who was wearing a brace to support his back, nodded to his family in the public gallery as he was jailed for seven-and-a-half years. 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.

‘In the course of one night you have thrown away all that you have worked for in two years of university education.’

But the judge added: ‘Home, for anyone, is the last refuge. Everyone should expect to feel safe in their own home.’
