Four armed men rob jewellery shop at Malviya Nagar

Four persons entered the showroom — Jain Jewellers — located in the posh M1 Block Market. Owner of the showroom, Pramod Jain, said two of them had “desi katta” and the others were carrying big knives.

“They threatened me at gunpoint and asked me to put all the gold items in the bags they were carrying. Two of them also filled up their bags with the gold ornaments kept at the counter of the shop. On seeing them, my employee acted intelligently and locked the strong room from the inside,” Jain has said in his complaint.

Soon after the accused fled the spot, Jain alerted police and other shopkeepers in the area. CCTV footage from a shop nearby showed the accused approaching the shop, police said. Shop owners in the area later staged a protest against police and said their businesses were not safe even during the daytime.
