A sensational robbery of jwellery worth crores of rupees, was carried out by breaking into a shop located in Bargawan, one of the city’s busiest industrial areas, on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. This theft has raised serious questions about the city’s security arrangements. Following the incident, senior police officials, forensic team, and a dog squad arrived at the scene to begin an investigation. Unknown thieves targeted ‘Kisna Jewellers’, located in the Bargawan area under the jurisdiction of the Madhavnagar police station, on Wednesday night. The thieves gained entry by breaching the rear wall of the shop and fled with the safe, along with other jewellery kept in the premises. When the owner, Mohan Bajaj, and his staff arrived in the morning to open the shop, they were left in shock by what they discovered inside. Madhavnagar police were immediately informed about the incident.

 

Given the gravity of the situation, S P Abhinay Vishwakarma and ASP Kamal Maurya also arrived at the site. A forensic team and a dog squad are also on-site, conducting an investigation. Footage from CCTV cameras installed both inside the shop and in the surrounding area is being examined. The owner and staff are currently reconciling their records to determine the exact extent of the loss; however, it is estimated that the value of the stolen jewellery runs into crores. It is worth noting that the Bargawan industrial area experiences vehicle movement until late at night. Despite this, the thieves managed to breach the rear wall of the shop and escape after executing the crime. The dog squad has not been able to gather any significant leads from the scene, while the forensic team is currently collecting fingerprints and other pieces of evidence.
