In an unfortunate incident, a daring theft has shaken the jeweller community in Pune’s Raviwar Peth area. Thieves made off with gold jewellery worth Rs 32 lakh from a renowned goldsmith, Asit Poria’s, workshop.
According to the complaint filed by Poria, 42, the theft occurred when two workers, Amit Pal and Mukesh Pankhira, hired by Poria, allegedly stole the valuable jewellery. Pal and Pankhira have been employed at Poria’s workshop for a long period.
Poria, owner of Shrikrishna Sarafi Pedhi, had been entrusted with creating 33 Mangalsutras by a prominent jeweller family. The family provided Poria with gold, which he measured every night after work. The accused, Pal and Pankhira, were provided accommodation in the premises of the workshop.
