Patna: A gang of miscreants looted diamonds, gold jewellery, and cash worth Rs. 50 lakh from Giva Jewellery Shop on Saguna Khagaul Road in Danapur. The incident took place around noon when two men entered the shop pretending to be customers. They initially asked to see rings and then called more accomplices, who arrived shortly after.
According to the shop staff, the miscreants first pretended to be selecting jewellery and then one of them stepped out, claiming to call his “Bhabhi.” He returned with 4-5 others, who then brandished firearms and looted the shop. They had brought a bag with them and took away gold and diamond jewellery. When they attempted to take silver items, the staff informed them that the items were made of silver, leading them to leave those behind.
Danapur ASP Bhanu Pratap Singh stated that police have begun retrieving CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts indicate that five individuals were involved. The entire robbery has been captured on CCTV, and police teams are analyzing footage from inside and outside the shop. The showroom is located merely 200 meters from a police post. After the incident, the criminals fled towards Khagaul Road. City SP Western Sarath RS and other officers reached the spot, and police are conducting raids to identify and apprehend the culprits.
