A daring robbery took place in Bihar’s Begusarai, where four robbers posing as customers looted jewellery worth Rs 40 lakh. The incident occurred while shop owner Pramod Poddar’s son, Rajeev, was present at the store.

According to CCTV footage, two robbers initially entered the store under the guise of customers and proceeded to the first floor to examine jewellery. Moments later, two more armed men joined them, brandishing weapons and starting the heist. The footage shows one robber instructing customers to stand back while taking jewellery from the glass counters.

Upon hearing the commotion, shop owner Pramod Poddar, whose house is nearby, rushed to the scene. He arrived just as the robbers were attempting to flee.
