Bhopal: On Monday evening, a gang of four women stole silver bangles worth Rs 1.13 lakh from a jewellery shop in Ashoka Garden area. The entire incident was captured in the CCTV camera installed in the shop.
According to the police, Shashikant Soni, a resident of Samrat Colony, has a shop named Riddhi-Siddhi Jewellery just below his house. On Monday afternoon around 3 o’clock, Shashikant left his father at the shop and went to have lunch. When he returned at 4 o’clock in the evening, repair material was lying on the counter. On suspicion, he checked the jewellery and found that the box of silver bangles kept on the counter was missing.
