A jeweller was allegedly robbed of gold jewellery, cash and his scooter at gunpoint in east Delhi’s Preet Vihar, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday night when the victim, Sukumar Dhara, was returning home from his jewellery shop in Mandawali, they said.
“Dhara, a resident of Laxmi Nagar, was intercepted by unidentified armed assailants on Madhuban Road around 10.30 pm,” a senior police officer said.
According to the police, the accused threatened Dhara with a firearm and forcibly took away his mobile phone and scooter. The victim told police that his box compartment of the vehicle contained around 75 grams of gold jewellery and Rs 3 lakh in cash at the time of the robbery.
