Police said the accused entered the premises by threatening the security guard, Raju Khan, on duty with a cutter. The suspect tied Khan’s hands with nylon straps. The robber then coerced Khan into accessing the cash counter room by using keys from the manager’s cabin.

Due to the time of the incident and poor lighting, CCTV footage was unclear, making it difficult to identify the perpetrator.

The investigation is currently being focused on all angles,” he said.
