In a brazen daylight robbery, a group of masked men stormed a Tanishq showroom in Bihar’s Arrah on Monday, holding customers and staff at gunpoint. The thieves made off with jewellery worth ₹25 crore along with an undisclosed amount of cash. The incident occurred on Monday shortly after the showroom opened at 10:30 am, when 5-6 men burst into the store, overpowering security personnel and taking hostages.
Following the incident, the Superintendent of Police, Bhojpur instructed all station heads to conduct thorough vehicle checks. Six suspicious men on three motorcycles were spotted speeding towards Doriganj.
A high-speed chase ensued, during which the perpetrators opened fire on the police, prompting the officers to return fire in self-defence. Two sustained injuries during the crossfire and are currently undergoing medical treatment. The police successfully recovered two pistols, 10 cartridges, stolen jewellery from the showroom, and a motorcycle.
