According to news agency IANS, victim guard Manoj Kumar recounted that the showroom had opened at 10 a.m. ahead of Holi when six criminals arrived in a car, parking it across the street. “As per showroom policy, we do not allow groups of more than four to enter at once, so we permitted them entry in pairs. When the sixth person arrived, he held a pistol to my head, snatched my weapon, and assaulted me. Then, they started filling their bags with jewellery,” he said.
‘Robbers Were Still Inside Showroom We Called Police’: Employee Alleges Delay In Police Response
The criminals also attacked a salesman before escaping with the valuables, leaving shopkeepers and bystanders in shock. Following the incident, senior police officials and Tanishq representatives from Patna reached the showroom. “We are providing all necessary information to the authorities. This is a major setback for us,” a company official told IANS.
Employees alleged a delay in police response, stating that despite calling authorities during the robbery, help did not arrive in time. “There were 8-9 armed criminals inside the showroom. When we called the police, they were still inside. Had the police arrived on time, the robbers might have been caught. But they kept saying they were on their way. By the time they reached, the criminals had already escaped,” an employee said, as quoted by IANS.
The police have launched an investigation and are analysing CCTV footage to track down the culprits.
