Ankush was tasked to solve this case at the earliest in supervision of Sh. Satish Kumar, ACP/Ops and overall supervision of the undersigned.
The team of Special Staff started analysing footage of CCTVs installed inside the jewellery shop and around the place of incident in which one masked person was seen entering the shop carrying a plastic bag and he committed robbery at a gun point and fled from the spot. He was seen running alone towards Madhuban Chowk by crossing the road and took an e-rickshaw.
