Ghaziabad (UP), Aug 12 (PTI) Masked men stole branded watches worth about Rs 3 crore from a showroom located between two police outposts at CISF road here, following which two policemen were suspended on Monday, officials said.

SHO Indirapuram Jitendra Dixit and the police outpost in-charge of Kanawani, Lal Chand Kanojia, have been suspended for dereliction of duty in the wake of the incident on Saturday night, they said.

Around 8-10 masked men broke into the watch showroom of Shyam Sunder Gupta of Noida located between two police outposts — Shipra and Kanawani — and decamped with watches worth about Rs 3 crore, they said.
