Just a stone’s throw from the Dugri police station, a godown of different e-commerce websites was targeted and robbed of ₹6.32 lakh cash by four armed robbers on Wednesday late.
The accused robbed the cash from the lone employee present in the godown.
After the robbers left the place, the employee Vishal Kumar, 19, raised an alarm. He informed the sarpanch of the area who further called the police.
Vishal said he works as field supervisor in Delivery Limited Company, Guru Nanak Nagar, Dhandra road. They receive all the online orders of different e-commerce websites and further courier companies collect the orders for further delivery.
On Wednesday, at around 10:50pm, when other staffers had left, he was sitting in the office counting the collection when a masked man walked in the office with some query related to the delivery of products. He asked him to come in the morning as it was too late and other staffers had also left.
Vishal alleged that the accused called on his three accomplices who with sharp-edged weapons threatened him to hand over the cash. He did not resist and handed over the key of the locker to them. The accused robbed cash from the locker and escaped.
