Three men allegedly robbed a jewellery shop and while fleeing, two of them robbed the motorcycle of a passerby in northeast Delhi's Karawal Nagar on Tuesday evening, police said.

According to police, the incident took place at Prem Vihar in Karawal Nagar where the three men robbed Jai Durga Jewellers.

The shop owner told police that several customers were present when the gunmen, wearing helmets, barged into the shop. "They took away the jewellery kept on the shop's counter at gunpoint. As they tried to run away, the staff managed to caught hold of one of them. They also snatched his pistol," a police officer said.

The two other accused managed to come out of the shop but could not start their motorcycles while fleeing. "They robbed another motorcycle from a rider at gunpoint and fled the spot," the officer said.
