Overview
- Store staff discovered several rings and chains missing during a routine stock check and reviewed overnight CCTV to find the cause.
- The footage, which multiple outlets reported, showed a rat carrying a gold ring at about 4:30 am on Thursday and leaving via a hole in the shop.
- Employees followed the animal’s route, dug up a burrow and recovered roughly 10 rings and two to three chains with an estimated value around ₹10 lakh.
- There were no obvious signs of forced entry and several price tags were missing, facts that prompted the staff to recheck surveillance rather than immediately file a police complaint.
- The viral video has drawn national attention and highlighted two practical lessons for jewellers: CCTV can resolve unusual losses and small-item storage and rodent-proofing are security weak spots.
