The staff also checked the other showroom and found that the accused had earlier visited Marathahalli and Kammanahalli showroom asking for the solitaire diamond. Since the staff did not have stock ,the accused returned .
The cubbon park police have registered a case and analyse the cctv footage to identify the white bearded accused.
