Instagram Reel Stunt Costs Jewellery Shop Manager ₹10 Lakh As Female Friend Allegedly Flees With Cash In Indore

In a shocking incident in Indore, a jeweller's manager lost Rs 10 lakh when his female friend allegedly stole the cash for an Instagram video stunt. Ankit Upadhyay, the manager at a jewellery shop in Sarafa, kept a large sum of cash in his car to deposit at a bank. On October 8, he was driving to the State Bank of India near DRP Line when Ayushi Verma, his long-time friend, greeted him.

Seizing the opportunity, Ayushi persuaded Ankit to allow her to use the cash for an Instagram reel and photo shoot. Ankit, trusting their friendship, agreed. Ayushi then lured Ankit to her home in Snehlataganj, promising to return the cash after filming. Once there, she parked her scooter, took the cash bag from the car, and sped away with the Rs 10 lakh.

Ankit immediately reported the theft to his employer and filed a police complaint. The police are now investigating CCTV footage to locate the suspect, Ayushi Verma, and recover the stolen funds.
