Two nurses arrested for gold shop robbery in Mukundpur after stock market losses

On Sunday, two nurses were arrested for attempting to rob a gold shop in Mukundpur, Kolkata. The incident occurred at around 11:30 AM, when the two suspects entered the shop, disguised as customers. They attempted to loot jewelry, but the shop owner realized their intentions and confronted them. During the struggle, the robbers attacked the owner, slashing his throat with a sharp object. The owner, critically injured, was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was reported to be in stable condition.

The suspects, who were later identified as nurses employed at a private hospital in Kolkata’s RN Tagore area, attempted to flee the scene after the attack. However, the shopkeeper’s cries for help alerted local residents. The locals quickly arrived at the shop, apprehended the suspects, and handed them over to the police. The robbers did not manage to escape and were detained by the authorities shortly after the incident.

Following the arrest, the police initiated an investigation and discovered that the suspects had been under financial strain due to significant losses in the stock market. In their statements, the suspects revealed that they had planned the robbery in a desperate attempt to recover their lost money. The nurses had been involved in high-risk stock market investments, and after facing substantial financial losses, they resorted to planning a gold shop robbery to recover their funds.

The police are now probing the financial details of the suspects, including their stock market activities and how much money they had lost. The authorities are also examining whether the two nurses had been involved in any other criminal activities or if they had previously attempted similar crimes. Meanwhile, the investigation continues as police gather further evidence regarding the suspects' motive and connections. The nurses are currently in police custody, facing charges of attempted robbery and assault.
