In a daring broad daylight robbery, three unidentified bike-borne miscreants allegedly looted Rs 10 lakh from a businessman at gunpoint on the Jharsuguda bypass on Thursday.
According to sources, the incident took place this afternoon at Shreya Traders in the town. Three robbers wearing helmets entered into the godown of the shop.
While one of the gang members kept watch outside, the other two barged in and threatened shop’s owner, Shankar Kodia at gunpoint and snatched Rs 10 lakh.
After the looters decamped with the cash, the shop owner informed the matter to the police. Later, based on the complaint of the victim, the Jharsuguda police began a probe into the matter.
