In the city of Jajpur, a shocking event took place on Saturday when a gang of robbers stormed into a gold jewellery shop in broad daylight. The incident resulted in the death of two individuals who were shot by the robbers. The news of this heinous crime spread like wildfire and caught the attention of the Special Task Force of Odisha Crime Branch, who immediately began their investigation.
The STF team, accompanied by a scientific team, visited the scene of the crime at Panikoili where the shooting occurred.

They are currently in the process of verifying the registration number of the bike and other details, in the hopes of finding a lead.
The incident unfolded when five armed men arrived at the jewellery shop on two motorcycles, posing as customers. They opened fire on one of the employees who was on his way to the bank to deposit the store's cash. The locals, who heard the commotion, rushed to the scene to help. However, the robbers, anticipating trouble, fired at them as well, resulting in the death of one individual and injury of another. The employee, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, while the other injured person is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Bhubaneswar.
The swift action of the locals led to the capture of two of the four miscreants, who were then beaten up and later hospitalized. The police are continuing their investigation and are determined to bring the culprits to justice. This incident has left the people of Jajpur in a state of shock and disbelief. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward and help them in their investigation.
