A shocking case of daylight robbery was reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district, where two men posing as customers allegedly stole a jewellery worth around Rs 15 lakh from a shop. The incident was captured on the shop’s CCTV cameras, and the video has since gone viral on social media.
The CCTV footage shows the jeweler shop counter covered with trays and boxes of jewellery, with the shopkeeper seated behind it attending to two or three customers. Minutes into the video, one of the men is seen engaging the shopkeeper in conversation, leaning over the counter and pointing at items to divert his attention.
While the shopkeeper remains occupied, another man quietly picks up an entire box filled with jewellery from the counter. He tucks it under his arm and casually walks towards the exit. Moments later, the group leaves the shop together, with the stolen box clearly visible in the suspect’s possession.
