Hyderabad: An owner of a jewellery shop was injured when he successfully thwarted a robbery attempt at his shop by two robbers, one of whom donned a burqa, in Medchal, a suburb of Hyderabad, Telangana on Thursday, June 20.
The two robbers entered Jagadamba Jewellers located at Kompally in Medchal, a suburb of Hyderabad, around 11 am. One of the men took out a big knife and threatened the shop owner to hand over the valuables to him.
