New Delhi: In yet another high-profile robbery, two bike-borne men robbed a jeweller of Rs. 1 crore worth jewellery at Rajghat in central Delhi, police said.
The incident took place when 44-year-old Shubham, who has a jewellery shop in Chandni Chowk area, and his driver were going to Karol Bagh in his car yesterday evening.
When they reached near Rajghat, two bike-borne youth signalled them to stop saying their car's tyre had deflated.
When Shubham and his driver came out to check, the pillion rider picked a bag containing around 4 kg gold jewellery from the car, and the duo fled, a police officer said.
Shubham immediately informed the police who flashed message on the wireless. Later, a case was registered at I P Estate Police station and investigations are on, the officer said.
In another incident, a jeweller was robbed of some jewellery at knife point in his shop in East Delhi's Gandhi Nagar area last evening.
