The incident took place at Krishna Jewellers, located in Gita Nagar, Pandesara, triggering panic among local traders and residents.
Thieves allegedly cut through roof to enter shop

Police said the accused allegedly:

- Entered the premises through the roof
- Accessed the locker and display counters
- Escaped after stealing gold and silver jewellery worth over ₹30 lakh
Second attempt on the same shop in six months
According to the shop owner, thieves had also attempted to target the jewellery shop around six months ago.
However, the earlier attempt was unsuccessful as the accused failed to execute their plan and fled from the spot.
