A based jeweller was robbed off Rs 2.1 lakh in cash, a gold chain and his licensed revolver by unidentified bike borne armed robbers. The incident occurred on the National Highway 24.
According to police, Brahm Swarup Gupta, owner of a jewellery shop in Dasna town, was going to his shop and it was then that three robbers on a bike knocked down Gupta who was on a motorcycle. Before Gupta could react, the three robbers snatched a gold chain from his neck, snatched a bag containing the cash and keys of his shop and took away his revolver too.
Gupta later lodged a complaint with police that the gold chain weighed 130 grams and was worth Rs 400,000. He also lost Rs 2.1 lakh in cash and other articles worth Rs 7 lakh.
"We have registered a complaint and efforts are being made to arrest the robbers at the earliest," said police Inspector Umesh Bahadur Singh.
