Gold ornaments weighing approximately 500 sovereigns have been stolen from the Tanishq jewellery showroom in Madurai. The showroom, which began operations just 15 days ago, has yet to hold its official inauguration. The incident occurred around 3:00 AM on Thursday. A masked individual gained entry through the back door and carried out the theft.

Madurai City Police Commissioner Rajendran stated that about 30 percent of the total stock of jewellery kept in the showroom has been stolen. He added that the exact figures are currently being verified. Police and forensic experts have visited the scene to conduct an investigation. Three special police teams have been deployed to track down those responsible for the theft.
