While the people of Delhi were celebrating Diwali on Thursday, the national capital also witnessed a gold heist like no other. Gold and diamonds worth around Rs 13 crore were stolen from two manufacturing units from Delhi's Prasad Nagar in Karol Bagh.

At least five masked men entered the building and robbed gold and diamonds from two manufacturing units.

According to police, the thieves entered the building after which an accomplice locked the building from outside. They used gas cutters to break



through three lockers. The entire heist took place in over 10 hours.
