Nagpur, India: A grocery store near Chamat Chakki Chowk in Wathoda was robbed in the early hours of 6th March. Thieves broke into the shop by bending the shutter and stole jewellery worth ₹10 lakh along with ₹1.5 lakh in cash.

The shop owner, Rakesh Chandmal Jain, had recently returned from Rajasthan after attending a wedding. He had stored the jewellery and cash in a cupboard inside the store. His house is located at the back of the shop.

On the night of the incident, Jain locked his shop and went home. Around 1 am, the thieves entered the store, took the valuables, and escaped. Just five minutes before the theft, a police patrol had passed through the area, but the thieves managed to hide.

A motorcyclist saw the thieves fleeing and immediately informed the police. Officers arrived quickly and alerted Jain about the burglary. The Wathoda police have registered a case and are examining CCTV footage to track down the culprits. The investigation is ongoing.
