MUMBAI: Two unidentified men were booked on Monday for allegedly robbing 2.067 kg of gold ornaments worth ₹2.29 crore at gunpoint from two employees of a jewellery firm on Monday.
According to the police, the incident occurred at 3 pm on Monday when Shyamla Bhai Rabari and Jagdish Kerabhai Aala, employees of Masterchain and Jewels, a jewellery-making firm in TambaKata Market in south Mumbai, collected the ornaments from a hallmarking unit in Sewri and were on their way to their showroom on a motorcycle. When they reached Zakaria Bunder road in Sewri, two unidentified men, on a two-wheeler, intercepted them. “One of the accused started pulling the bag containing the gold jewellery from Kerabhai, who was riding pillion. When Kerabhai resisted the robbers and started running with the bag, one of the accused pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him. He then snatched the bag from Kerabhai and drove away,” said a police officer.
