Jeweller killed in west Delhi robbery

It was just another day for Ashok Kumar at his jewellery shop in the busy Tilak Nagar market. His elder brother, Deen Dayal had taken off and gone to their house on the first floor of the building.

Kumar was bracing for the evening rush as the scorching heat keep most of the shoppers away during the day time. However, on Sunday evening he was about to get some unexpected visitors.

At around 6 pm, five people, travelling on two bikes, barged into Ashok's shop, DD Jewellers. The assailants slit Kumar's throat with a sharp edged weapon and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife. Before fleeing they took away Rs 1.5 lakh in cash.

DD Jewellers is situated opposite Chand Nagar gurdwara, one of the most congested spots in Tilak Nagar market.u00a0u00a0

The police have detained Deen Dayal and some other people for questioning.
