A jewellery store in-charge was attacked and jewellery estimated to be worth ₹20 lakh was robbed by three unidentified men in broad daylight in Chaderghat police limits in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
A CCTV footage from inside the store showed that the robbery was the handiwork of three men. While a man in a baseball cap and a surgical mask first entered the store as a customer, the second, taller, wearing a similar cap and a bandana walked in forcefully with an empty woven bag and a knife.
He soon climbed the chair in front of the cash counter and started to attack the man. A third man wearing a helmet walked in, jumped and joined the second man on the display side. While the first man stood aside and watched, the other two filled the bag with the trays of jewellery. And all the three left the store in less than two minutes.
