New Delhi: Two employees of an Ahmedabad-based jeweller were allegedly robbed of gold worth over Rs 1 crore, the police said on Monday.

The incident took place on August 12. They were allegedly abducted from outside the New Delhi Railway Station by two persons posing as Delhi Police personnel.

The gold worth Rs 1.25 crore was robbed from them following which they were dumped in Haryana.

According to the police, the incident took place when Nitin and Shailesh, employees of jeweller Soni Rajesh Changanlal, came to old Delhi to buy some gold, they said.

They were accompanied by another employee Umakant who went inside the station.

While they were paying the fare to a rickshaw-puller, a man in police uniform asked them to accompany him at gunpoint, they added.

They were taken to a parked car in which another man was sitting and they were taken to Haryana. They were dumped after being looted.

Their employer approached the police today and a case was registered. The police are scanning the CCTV footage from the railway station and other areas to identify the accused.
