A jewellery shop owner fought off two assailants who tried to loot his shop by force in Belagavi on Monday. The owner’s timely action foiled the robbery bid.
Prashant Bhagwant Konarao, jeweller in Shahapur in the old city, had just opened his shop and was cleaning the glasses when the two unidentified men entered.
One of them hit the owner on his head with his revolver. The victim started screaming loudly and tried to fight off the assailants. The accused ran away, as they suspected that a crowd will gather at the shop.
