In a daring incident of daylight robbery, two unidentified youths allegedly snatched a gold chain from a shop owner at Ramnagar 6 No. Road near 2 No. Crossing in Agartala and fled the scene within moments. The entire episode was captured on a CCTV camera installed inside the shop.
According to sources, the duo arrived in the locality on a motorcycle. While one of them remained seated outside with the engine running, the other entered the shop posing as a customer. He reportedly asked to see certain items and engaged the shop owner in conversation, creating a brief distraction.
