Yesterday at about 10 am the Ranchi Kshetriya Gramin Bank here was looted by 6 unknown boys/men at gunpoint. These guys came on 3 motorcycles and entered the bank as soon as it was opened by the peon, Lalku.
The robbers had a key that they tried to use to open the safe but failed to do so as it got stuck. Anyway, they looted a few mobile phones from bank customers who happened to enter unknown to the robbery taking place.
The local police was informed and they have begun their investigation. The robbers are said to have fled towards jobhia.
The amount that was called the loot was Rs. 500. This is from a local residents mouth.
The police here are very active and many in number. This is not the first incident. A few years ago the same bank was looted and that was at 11 am. The amount is unknown but at that time the amount was big and there was no police station. The looters were 40 in number and after looting the bank crossed the railway lines and went on towards Ranchi on foot. They had the crossing gates closed by the railway gate-man and warned him not to open it before an hour had passed.
Things are bettering....
