According to security guard Manoj Kumar, the robbery happened shortly after the store was opened at 10 am.
“Six criminals arrived in a car, parking it across the street. As per showroom policy, we do not allow groups of more than four to enter at once, so we permitted them entry in pairs. When the sixth person arrived, he held a pistol to my head, snatched my weapon, and assaulted me. Then, they started filling their bags with jewellery,” he said, according to IANS.
Following the brazen incident, the company’s senior representatives from Patna and police officials arrived at the scene.
A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway. According to a HT report, two people have been arrested in connection with the daring daylight robbery.
