A businessman and his friend who were carrying diamond jewellery worth over Rs.1 crore were robbed by three armed men here, police said Thursday.

Also, a property dealer was robbed of Rs 29 lakh in a separate incident in east Delhi.

Diamond jewellery businessman Satish Kumar Shah, 55, was accompanied by his friend in a car when three men on a motorcycle intercepted them in central Delhi Wednesday evening.
