In a major robbery, culprits looted gold and jewellery weighing nearly 30 kg from a showroom in Panjagutta area in the city in the wee hours here, police said Saturday.
The CCTV footage of the Tanishq showroom showed an unidentified person entering the premises from the rear side last night and decamping with the booty, Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma said.
Special teams have been formed by the central crime station officials. ‘We are verifying the visuals and investigation will go into all angles’, Sharma said.
A senior police official said though only one person was visible in the video footage, they cannot rule out the possibility of involvement of others.
The official also said the value of the jewellery cannot be ascertained immediately as the assessment is still going on. Police have collected some vital information which they cannot share at this point, he said. A case has been filed based on a complaint from the showroom officials.
Meanwhile, probe into the robbery case was handed over to CCS, police said.(NSS)
