Five bags full of gold, believed to be worth about Rs 10 crore, were looted by a group of armed robbers from the premises of Muthoot Finance in Muzaffarpur on Wednesday. The private finance company's officials told the police that the value of the gold looted is nearly Rs 10 crore. The six robbers barged into the office of Muthoot Finance after one of them hit the guard Manoj Kumar Jha with the butt of his firearm. Muthoot Finance runs schemes in which it gives loans against gold. I noticed them, while in a semi-conscious state, leaving the premises with bags in their hands," Jha told reporters.
