Jeweller robbed in walled city

Vadodara: A jeweller having his shop near Champaner Gate was robbed by two unidentified persons on Saturday. Petty cash amounting to around Rs 5,000 was robbed in the incident.
The incident took place on Saturday afternoon when Praful Choksi was alone at the shop. Two persons entered his shop and downed the shutter from inside. One of them pulled out a dagger-like knife while another hit Choksi.
Choksi begged the duo to take whatever they wanted to and spare him. Choksi told media persons that he had around Rs five thousand at his shop at the time. The accused took the cash and ran away from the place.
Investigators have suspicion that the accused may be persons known to a man whose wife had bought earring from Choksi and later sold them back to him. The man objected to Choksi giving money to his wife. He had come to the shop once with two other men. It is suspected that the two youths were the ones who were involved in the robbery on Saturday afternoon.
