“Seven members of a gang from outside Bengal were arrested in connection with the dacoity in Purulia’s Raghunathpur. “The police arrested gang members before they could rob two shops under Jamuria police station in Asansol-Durgapur (police commissionerate) and Bankura police station,” Bandyopadhyay said. On June 11, a group of four armed men looted a jewellery shop — MS Gems and Jewellers Sons — in Howrah’s Domjur a little after noon. The heist at the Domjur jewellery shop came within three days of a similar attempt at a jewellery shop in Raniganj. A gang of seven to eight armed robbers barged into a jewellery shop in Raniganj.
