The City police have got some vital clues regarding the identity of the accused.

“We suspect a highly professional, inter-state gang behind the crime. The video footages suggest that all the six revolvers may not be genuine.

“Moreover, the culprits did not attempt to use them. The incident occurred due to a security lapse. A big showroom like this does not have adequate security. We are confident of nabbing the accused soon,” said Joint Commissioner of police (Crime) Gopal B Hosur.

A senior Chemmanur Jewellery employee however, refuted that there was a lapse in the security system.
“We have installed closed-circuit television cameras in the showroom. The entire operation has been recorded. Whatever information we have has been passed on to the police. The shop will function as usual on Sunday,” he said.
