The incident occurred at the Agarkar Road where Manna Taraknath, 50, has his gold jewellery shop.

The accused held the collar of the shop owner and attacked him twice and fled the spot without taking any jewellery.

The Dombivli police station senior police inspector, Sachin Sandbhor, said, “We are investigating all aspects, whether the attacker had some enmity with the jeweller because he didn’t steal any jewellery.
