Three masked men opened fire multiple times and stole jewellery valued at over Rs 11 lakh from a shop in Navi Mumbai's Kharghar area, a police official reported on Monday.
The robbery occurred around 10 p.m. on Sunday, according to the Kharghar police station.
A video of the incident, in which the three persons can be seen fleeing from the site of the crime on a motorcycle with people trying to give chase, went viral on social media.
A police official told PTI, "Wearing black clothes and armed with revolvers, the three entered the shop, threatened the staff, assaulted them and looted jewellery worth Rs 11.80 lakh. In three minutes, they shot four to five rounds though no one was injured."
A case was registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Arms Act for dacoity and other offences, the official said, adding efforts were on to nab the trio.
