Robbers struck again in Gurugram as a jeweller in the Sadar Bazaar area was attacked and robbed by armed men on Saturday evening. The robbers came in on the pretext of buying jewellery from Mussadi Lal Jewellers and fled with ornaments worth Rs 13 lakh.

As seen in the CCTV footage, they came in two groups posing as customers. While two men came first, they asked jeweller Bhoop Singh to show engagement ring designs. He pulled out two trays. After few minutes other men came in and one of them pulled out a pistol. He jumped over the counter to overpower the shop owner, while others escaped with jewellery trays. The shop owner resisted, but they pinned him down.

Bhoop Singh called police and filed a complaint.

“We have formed a special team and are trying to nab the accused who are not identified yet. Our teams are on the job and hope to nab the accused soon,” said Preet Pal Singh Sangwan, ACP, Crime.

The local trader community is up in arms after the incident and has demanded security.

“Post unlock we feel threatened and such daring acts by robbers in the busiest market that too on busy Saturday evening hints at the lack of police fear. We want security and safety so that we can trade without fear,” local traders said in a letter to the Commissioner.
