An FIR had been registered at Bhargo Camp on Thursday. Owner of Vijay Jewellers Ajay Kumar had alleged that gold jewellery weighing about 850 g and over Rs 2 lakh cash had been robbed at gunpoint from the shop shortly after his son Nikhil had opened it around 10:30 am.

It was revealed that after committing the robbery, all three accused fled towards Rajasthan. Further investigation revealed that the trio had been provided shelter by Gaurav in Ajmer. The police conducted a raid and arrested all four accused.
