Jamshedpur, Sep 3
Armed criminals carried out a daring daylight robbery at a jewellery shop in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur on Wednesday afternoon, fleeing with valuables worth lakhs of rupees.
The gang then swiftly began looting gold and diamond ornaments from the showcases and storage areas.
When Jain attempted to resist, one of the criminals struck him on the head with the butt of a pistol, leaving him seriously injured. He was later rushed to Tata Main Hospital (TMH) for emergency treatment. His condition is reported to be stable but critical.
This robbery comes on the heels of a similar incident on June 24, when criminals looted Rs 1.5 crore worth of gold and cash from a jeweller in the Chakulia police station area. In that case, the accused were later arrested.
Just over a month ago, another high-profile daylight robbery occurred at Chas Mor in Bokaro, where a gang from Bihar looted jewellery worth crores of rupees. That gang was apprehended within two days in Patna.
