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.
Halasuru Gate Police registered a case under BNS Section 306 (Theft by clerk or servant of property in possession of master), based on a complaint filed by Rakesh Kumar K, owner of Mehta Jewels, and are investigating the incident.
Kumar has told the police that he had been receiving solid gold from other jewelers, using which, he had been making ornaments. He used to get the hallmark for the ornaments and delivered them back to the shops that had ordered the jewelry.
On April 3, Kumar told Rajendra to take 2.7 kg of the gold ornaments to Mehta Lab Hall. The next day, he handed his employee another 400 gram to get the certification, and asked him in the evening to collect 3.1 kg of ornaments from the laboratory. Rajendra, who went out to get the ornaments, did not return.
Kumar tried to contact Rajendra over phone, but could not reach him. He filed a complaint with Halasuru Gate Police, who are searching for the suspect.
