In a daring daylight heist, ₹4.7 lakh in cash, chequebooks, and credit cards, were stolen from an Ahmedabad-based businessman’s car which was parked outside a prominent jewellery showroom in Gandhinagar. Police have launched a probe to trace the suspects.

The victim, Keval Dineshbhai Parmar, a resident of Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, had driven to Gandhinagar with friends on Monday to collect the cash loaned to a friend. Parmar, who operates a hotel business, reported that the cash, along with chequebooks from banks including SBI, IDFC, Kotak, RBL, and BOB, as well as credit cards, was kept in a leather bag inside his Scorpio car. 

According to Parmar, the incident took place around 9.30 pm when he, along with his friends Pratik and Ankit Chavda, stopped outside Tanishq Jewelers. After parking and locking the vehicle, they entered the showroom, leaving the bag containing cash and documents on the back seat. Moments later, a Tanishq staff member informed him that the car’s driver-side window had been smashed.

Upon returning to the vehicle, Parmar discovered that the cash-filled bag was missing. Witnesses reported seeing two unidentified men on a Pulsar motorcycle, with one man wearing a helmet and the other with a handkerchief covering his face, allegedly break into the vehicle and flee the scene. Notably, the bike had no licence plate.

Parmar immediately notified police control, and Chandkheda police officers arrived to investigate. A case was lodged with the Chandkheda Police Station and further investigation is going on.
