Hyderabad: Jewellery shop next to Medchal Police Station burgled; silver ornaments stolen

Hyderabad: A jewellery shop located close to Medchal Police Station was burgled after unidentified miscreants allegedly broke through its rear wall and escaped with valuable silver ornaments on Tuesday early morning.

The incident has raised security concerns among local traders, particularly as the same shop was targeted in an earlier robbery.

According to the information available, the burglars targeted Shree Jagadamba Jewellers, situated next to Medchal Police Station. They reportedly made a hole in a room’s rear wall to gain entry into the shop and stole several silver articles before fleeing.

The theft came to light on Tuesday morning when Ajay Choudhary, son of shop owner Sheshamal Choudhary, arrived to open the store. He noticed the damaged rear wall and missing silver ornaments and immediately alerted his family before lodging a complaint with the police.

Locals said this was the second robbery reported at Shree Jagadamba Jewellers. The repeated targeting of the shop has caused concern among local business owners.

Traders and residents have questioned how burglars could carry out such an operation in close proximity to a police station.

The Medchal Police have taken up an investigation into the incident. The value of the stolen material is to be estimated.
