"Subsequently, the NRI police station, under whose jurisdiction the shop is located, registered an offense under the IPC section 380 (theft) and started the probe," he added.

During the course of invesgitation, it was discovered that the accused have embezzled the funds and cooked up the robbery story to cover up the crime.
