Nagpur: A theft incident has been reported from the busy Itwari Sarafa Market in Nagpur, where a man posing as a customer allegedly stole a gold chain from a jewellery shop and quietly walked away. The entire act was captured on CCTV, based on which police have launched a search for the accused.
According to police, the complaint was filed by jeweller Aditya Kole, who owns a shop named B.M. Nikam in Sarafa Oli under Tehsil Police Station limits. On Thursday evening, Kole was present at his shop when an unidentified man entered, expressing interest in buying a gold chain.
