The incident took place at around 2 am on Saturday. An officer from Bandra police station said, &ldquo;We believe that the three accused might have got a tip-off that a large sum of money is kept in the shop, due to which they decided to break in.&rdquo; &ldquo;The incident came to light when the employees of the shop reported to work the next day and informed the family, following which Sameera&rsquo;s mother Nakshatra reported to the police station, and registered the case, as the couple wasn&rsquo;t available,&rdquo; the officer further said.
