Robbery Hyderabad never witnessed

Jewellery worth Rs 10 crore was looted from Alukkas Jewellery today in Hyderabad’s brand zone in Panjagutta. This is the biggest ever heist in Andhra Pradesh. The store is 200 metres from chief minister Dr YS Rajashekar Reddy’s high security residence and less than 100 metres from the Panjagutta police station. Police suspect that a three-member team was behind the robbery. Three private security guards were on duty at that time. They told police that they did not hear a sound throughout the night. Strangely, the closed-circuit cameras recorded nothing. The police suspect the robbers switched off the lights before starting operations. Involve-ment of insiders were not ruled out. The robbers walked down from the terrace of the four-storied building. They might have jumped from an adjacent building under construction. They broke open the locks at the rear part of the store and then drilled holes into the wooden doors to open the bolts. The store had 103 kg of gold and Rs 43 crore of diamonds. The robbers took away diamonds and diamond studded jewellery from the showcases. Significantly, they did not touch the strong room, which has a live alarm link with the Panjagutta police station. "This is a simple, but thoroughly professional job," a police officer said. The jewellers in Kolkata depend more on the grace of god rather the might of the city police. After pulling the shutters of their shops at night, they padlock the gates properly to avoid dacoits from looting. Big jewellers themselves appoint private security guards.
