Police recovered jewellery worth Rs 1.5 crore within 12 hours of it being stolen, from Narela area in north west Delhi today although the robbers are still at large.
The silver ornaments and diamonds, being brought from Punjab, were robbed by two youth from near Alipur area on NH-1 of outer Delhi at around 1 am last night, police said.
