Daylight Heist Shocks Karnataka: Armed Gang Loots Nearly 3 Kg Gold in Daring Kalaburagi Robbery!
Armed gang loots nearly 3 kg gold in bold daylight robbery at Kalaburagi workshop.
In a chilling midday heist straight out of a crime thriller, an armed gang stormed a gold ornament workshop in Kalaburagi's Saraf Bazaar, looting nearly 3 kg of gold worth crores — all in broad daylight.
The terrifying robbery unfolded around 12:30 PM on Friday, when a group of four assailants, some armed with guns and knives, barged into the first-floor shop. The victim, a Kolkata-based goldsmith, was held at gunpoint, gagged, and tied up with tape while the robbers made off with the gold.
“This was clearly a well-planned and coordinated operation,” a senior police official revealed. “The gang likely conducted a recce of the area beforehand — escaping from this crowded commercial zone isn't easy.”
