New Delhi, Feb 28 || Three unidentified men allegedly robbed a 22-year-old shopkeeper of Rs 14 lakh at gun and knifepoint in northwest Delhi's Model Town area, police said on Saturday. This is the second robbery to take place in a business establishment in the national Capital within a week.
According to officials, a PCR call reporting the incident was received at the Model Town police station on Friday. Acting on the information, police teams rushed to the spot and began an investigation.
The complainant, identified as Kartik, informed the police that he was watching a movie inside his shop when three unknown men entered the premises.
The suspects told him that they wanted to update their mobile number in their Aadhaar card, using the request as a pretext to gain access.
Kartik told investigators that soon after entering, one of the men bolted the shop door from inside. Another allegedly placed a gun against his head, while the third pressed a knife to his neck, threatening him before carrying out the robbery.
The accused then fled with a bag containing Rs 14 lakh in cash, police officials said.
