Police arrived at the spot after receiving a call around 5pm about a firing incident and loot of a cash van present at an ICICI ATM near a flyover in Wazirabad area, according to the official.

“At around 4:50 pm today, one cash van had arrived at ICICI ATM near JagatPuri flyover for depositing cash. One person came from behind and fired at the cash van guard and fled away taking the money. The guard was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared brought dead,” Kalsi said.

“As of now, we have learnt that ₹8lakh was looted. Since another employee of the cash van who has the logbook of the cash went to the hospital with the injured guard, we are still in the process of verifying the exact looted amount,” he added.
