CHIKKAMAGALURU: A jeweller was injured after a gang of youths, who raided his jewellery shop, opened fire, damaging a windowpane in Chikkamagaluru, in a broad daylight robbery on Saturday.
Jeweller Jayaprakash Jain has suffered minor injuries and has been hospitalised. The incident took place around 11.30 am on Saturday, soon after his shop was opened.
The youths came to the shop on a motorbike, and had covered their faces.
The rider had covered his head with a helmet, while the other two robbers were wearing face masks. They entered the shop and later came out threatening the staff.
A fellow shopkeeper explained that when Jayaprakash tried to catch the robbers, they opened fire, thrice, in the shop.

The shop owner is in shock, and not in a condition to give a statement about the missing jewellery from the shop, if any, he said.
He added that a special team has been formed to investigate the case, and efforts are on to arrest the accused.
