On Wednesday morning, in broad daylight, four armed robbers on two bikes attempted to loot Darshan Jewelers in Thane. The robbers, with their faces covered, entered the shop, brandishing pistols and a revolver. They threatened the shopkeeper, who fought back with an iron rod. Despite the resistance, the robbers managed to flee with the shopkeeper’s mobile phone, abandoning their motorcycles at the scene.
The incident occurred around 11:25am in the Kapurbawadi area. Locals managed to capture one of the robbers, identified as Manoj Kumar, 25, from Bihar. The other three escaped. The police filed a case under various sections of the Bhartiya Nyan Sanhita.
