[Skit: Palki Sharma]

It was a robbery no one thought was possible

Not in broad daylight, not inside the world's most famous museum

But in just four minutes

A team of thieves pulled off a heist that stunned France and indeed the whole world

They bypassed guards, they broke through layers of security

And they walked away with jewels once worn by queens and empresses

The Louvre is home to the Mona Lisa

It is a fortress of art and history

And it was breached like never before

Now investigators are racing against time, the thieves remain a step ahead and the world is left asking

How did a gra— how did a gang break into a global landmark and vanish before anyone could stop them?
