Armed robbers stormed a Tanishq jewellery showroom in Bihar's Arrah early Monday morning and looted jewellery worth ₹25 crore.

Two of the showroom's executives were injured in the robbery.

The heist, which was captured on CCTV inside the showroom, took place at the Gopali Chowk branch, located in the Arrah police station area.

According to showroom manager Kumar Mrityunjay, in addition to cash, the robbers took away a range of valuables, including gold chains, necklaces, bangles and some diamonds.

He further claimed that the police did not respond to the showroom's call first.

"Jewellery worth ₹25 crore has been looted, cash is in addition to that chain, necklaces, bangles, and some diamonds. This is a lapse by the authorities. It was morning time, not evening or night. We were calling the police, but did not receive any response," said Kumar.
