Day after robbery, cops grope in dark

Mohali, December 31

A day after the daylight robbery in Mohali, the local police are clueless about the Rs 37-lakh loot from a jewellery shop in Phase 10 here.

The police are still groping in the dark about the identity of the robbers as they failed to find any clue in the footage of CCTV cameras installed in adjacent showrooms.

Meanwhile, members of the Jewellers Association, Mohali, the Tricity Jewellers Association, the Jewellers Association, Chandigarh, and the Trade Union, Mohali, today submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner and the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mohali, demanding adequate security for all jewellery shops. Four miscreants, carrying at least three pistols, had looted a jewellery shop at the Phase 10 market and had decamped with cash and ornaments valued around Rs 37 lakh yesterday. Sarbjeet Singh Paras, president, Jewellers Association, Mohali, expressed concern over the lack of adequate security measures for jewellers. He said CCTV cameras should be installed by the government in each market having jewellery shops. — TNS
