Owner Vinod Sharma said after he opened the shop around 7 am, two persons, with their faces covered, reached there on a motorcycle. They positioned their bike in front of the establishment. One of them entered the shop and confronted him. He forcibly took Rs 10,000 from his pocket. The suspect also took away Rs 5,000 from the cash counter and goods such as tobacco and cigarettes from the shop.
