A gang of unidentified persons broke open the shutters of three commercial shops at Anandeshwar Nagar near Ram Mandir in Kalaburagi in the early hours of Thursday and decamped with ₹ 95,000 in cash from two shops and a liquor bottle from the third shop.
Two masked men were caught on the CCTV camera. The footage recovered from one of the shops, recorded at 2.38 a.m. on Thursday, shows a masked man removing money from the cash counter.
