    Inequality in society is leadings to such audacious robberies , one would imagine such a high end shop would have some very tight security. Security guards were probably 'tight so the robber with no name managed to steal phones worth 60 lakh rupees before security guards could recover from hangover. One must investigate inside job as usually this kind of robberies have a collaborator who works within the establishment, if we match the name lists of employees with the names of the robbers we can solve this robbery without needing police. Given that the name of the accused hasn't been released I think everyone here knows .
