Mumbai: The Charkop Police have registered an FIR against three security guards of Shree Jee Manufacturers for allegedly stealing 22-carat gold bangles worth Rs 5.28 crore. The company is engaged in manufacturing jewellery from raw gold. After the alleged theft, the trio fled the scene. The incident occurred on May 14, and the case was registered the following day.
As per the FIR, the complainant, Ashok Waya, 63, resides in Kandivali West and operates Shree Jee Manufacturers, a two-storey company located in Charkop, Kandivali West.
