Hyderabad, Aug 12
One person was injured as armed robbers opened fire on a jewellery shop in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
The robbers resorted to firing when the employees of the Khazana jewellery showroom tried to resist their attempt to loot.
The incident occurred in the Chandanagar area under Cyberabad Police Station limits around 10.40 a.m.
Six men wearing masks entered the shop, threatened the staff with a gun and demanded the key to the locker.
When the assistant manager told them that the key was not with him, the robbers opened fire. The deputy manager sustained an injury on his leg and he was rushed to a hospital.
The robbers also opened fire to damage CCTV cameras, broke the glass shelves and looted some jewellery.
One of the employees had informed the police over the phone about the robbery attempt. On seeing the police approaching the shop, the offenders escaped on two-wheelers.
