Three robbers who escaped with Rs 27 lakh from a jewellery showroom in north west Delhi's Rohini on Tuesday, had 'advised' employees to not intervene with the robbery, otherwise they would be risking their lives, according to a senior police officer quoted by news agency Press Trust of India. Police suspect the gang of three robbers robbed another jewellery showroom on the same day in Delhi's Adarsh Nagar, where they shot the owner in cold blood in front of his 13-year-old son and a helper. The owner had attempted to catch hold of the robbers.
"For a few thousand of rupees that you earn, why would you risk your life. We are not here to harm you. Please let us do our job," one of the robbers had told the employees of the Rohini showroom in a 'friendly' tone, according to a police officer, quoted by news agency Press Trust of India.
At around 3.55 pm, the robbers stopped their motorcycle outside the Adarsh Nagar showroom wearing helmets.
"The helper told police that the accused had made him lie to the ground while they were taking the valuables. Kaushal was inside the strong room and came out after the commotion," a police official said, according to PTI.
Delhi police's Crime Branch and Special Cell officials today visited both the showrooms to ascertain whether both the robberies were carried out by the same gang.
