Accused in Bihar’s ₹25 cr. Tanishq heist killed in encounter, three STF personnel injured
Patna: An accused in the ₹25 crore heist at a Tanishq jewellery showroom in Bihar’s Arrah was killed in an encounter with the Special Task Force (STF) on Saturday. The joint operation, conducted by the STF, Patna Police, and local officials, resulted in injuries to three STF personnel.
According to reports, the accused was asked to surrender but continued firing at the security forces, leading to the encounter. He was taken to a hospital in Narpatganj, where doctors declared him brought dead. His identity has not yet been disclosed by the police.
The heist took place on March 10 when a group of armed men stormed the showroom, overpowering security personnel and holding staff and customers hostage at gunpoint. CCTV footage from the incident shows the assailants, some wearing masks, forcing people to raise their hands while looting gold, silver, and diamond jewellery. The criminals, who arrived in a car parked across the street, first attacked the security guard, snatched his weapon, and then proceeded to ransack the showroom before escaping.
While local reports estimate the value of the stolen jewellery at ₹25 crore, the police have yet to confirm the exact amount. Authorities continue their investigation to apprehend the remaining suspects.
