Bengaluru: In a daylight robbery, a man was robbed of Rs 2 lakh that he just had withdrawn from a bank in Peenya police station limits on Thursday.
The victim identified as Harish was robbed at knife point by a group of six robbers who came in bikes.
According to police, Harish had come to Kotak Bank’s Peenya branch to withdraw money. He withdrew `2 lakh and stepped out of the bank, without realising that he was being watched.
When he had walked hardly a few steps, six men approached him on three bikes and snatched the money on knife point on full public view. Harish cried for help but in vain as the robbers fled the spot in a jiffy.
Harish approached Peenya police and filed a complaint following which a case was registered. The police have begun the Investigation and obtained footage from CCTV cameras installed outside the bank and nearby places.
The police said the robbery has been caught in one of the CCTV cameras and also the robbers and their bikes. They would be caught soon, the police said.
They advised people to be extra careful while visiting banks and carrying cash to or from bank. In most of the cases, robbers either follow the movements of people or target them when they come out of banks with money in hand or bags.
