Chandigarh, September 11

Three armed men robbed a jewellery shop at gunpoint in Aligarh on Friday, walking in as customers and then flashing out guns to loot the booty.

Interestingly, the robbers followed the Covid protocol of sanitisation and wearing of masks, though social distancing wasn't maintained.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras and has gone viral on social media. The 35-second clip shows the assailants entering the shop and a jewellery shop employee offering them sanitiser to clean their hands.

One of the robbers jumps over the counter towards a safe and hands over jewellery and cash to another aide even as the third accomplice maintains a vigil around while flashing his gun.

A man and a woman, probably customers, can be seen on the other side of the counter, appearing to be in a state of shock.
