While the employees were questioning the man, two more men came in, again with bags in hand, and shut the gate, according to the police. They then took out pistols from their bags and threatened the employees to keep quiet, a police officer said.
Apart from the Rs 18 lakh, the accused also stole a bag containing a passbook, cheque book and a purse, before escaping from the store, the officer told news agency Press Trust of India.
