JAIPUR: A 38-year-old man recced a jewellery shop in Ramganj for nearly one month and recorded a dozen videos of a maze of litter-strewn narrow alleys before pulling off a jewel heist of over Rs 1 crore with five of his underlings last month.
The city police on Friday cracked the mystery of elaborately planned jewel theft with the arrest of six men.

Deshmukh said the accused had broken into a jewellery shop in Phuta Khurra in the Ramganj Bazar on July 25.
The accused fled with valuable antique items, pearls, diamonds and other jewellery items worth over Rs 1 crore, said an official. Police found that Ansari had sat outside the shop for several hours. He noted down every detail to plan the heist. “Ansari recced the shop for close to one month. He recorded videos of adjoining streets, alleys and different pathways on his mobile,” Deshmukh told TOI.
