Once inside, the robbers spread out and systematically targeted the display desks, smashing the glass cases and loading jewellery into backpacks.

Each robber appeared to have a pre-assigned section, suggesting they had conducted a detailed survey of the store's layout before the heist. The entire robbery took less than three minutes, highlighting the precision and planning behind the operation, reported NDTV.

Local media reported that five suspects have been arrested in connection with the robbery.

PNG Jewellers, named after the late businessman Purshottam Narayan Gadgil, has grown from a single store in a small town to a global chain with 35 stores across India, the US, and Dubai, according to its website.
