Bengaluru: Jewelry store employee escapes with 3 kg gold ornaments
Bengaluru: An employee of a jewelry store situated on CT Street, who was assigned the work of obtaining hallmark certification for the ornaments, allegedly absconded with more than 3 kg of gold jewelry recently.
The stolen jewelry is learned to be worth more than Rs 2.8 crore.
