Before looting, the men were seen spraying some chemical on the shopkeeper's face. But the alert owner pressed an alarm bell beside him, police said.
"They looted jewellery worth around Rs 20 lakh from my shop, but the exact value is yet to be estimated," the visibly-shaken shopkeeper told reporters.
After the incident, some local people arrived as they heard the siren sound. They could not do anything to help as they noticed a man with a gun.
High drama unfolded when the two came out of the shop in a hurry, but their motorcycle broke down. One of them desperately tried to start the vehicle as the pillion rider kept on pointing the gun at someone inside the shop.
"I came outside and tried to hit them with a stick, following which one of them opened fire at me," the owner said.
