Police said it received a complaint from the owner of the Jewellery store highlighting the theft of valuable gold items. The police have booked an unknown individual in connection with the case. Police said that prima facie upon the investigation of CCTV footage, it has suspicion on both current and former employees, as there was no sign of forced entry into the shop. "The theft took place in the Raviwar Peth area on December 31.
