Upon reviewing CCTV footage from the day of the incident, the management found that the duo had discreetly exchanged a 6-gram gold ring before leaving the premises. The matter was immediately reported to the Panjagutta Police. A case has been registered, and investigators are analysing CCTV footage around the store in an effort to identify and trace the duo.
