Robbers loot Rs.five lakh from petrol vend employees
March 18th, 2010 - 10:52 pm ICT by IANSGhaziabad, March 18 (IANS) Armed robbers looted cash worth Rs.5 lakh from the manager of a petrol retail outlet here, police said Thursday.
The incident occurred Wednesday in Kavi Nagar’s Shastri Nagar locality.
According to police, manager Subhash Jha and Brij Mohan, an employee of Auto-Care, were robbed at 10 a.m. while they were going on a scooter to deposit Rs.6.6 lakh in cash at a bank. Two robbers on a black motorcycle hit their scooter from the side, snatched their scooter keys, looted Rs.5 lakh from scooter glove box and fled the spot.
“One criminal was wearing a dark glass helmet while his accomplice had covered his face with a cloth. They came near us and pushed me hard, due to which I lost control. Acting swiftly, the criminal who was wearing a helmet opened the scooter boot, grabbed money and fled the spot. They only took the cash kept in the boot. We saved Rs.1.6 lakh because it was in our pocket,” said Mohan.
“A case has been registered and a team has been assigned to work out the case at the earliest,” Senior Superintendent of Police Raghuvir Lal said.
Police have been given a 48-hour ultimatum to solve the case as the Petroleum Traders Association has threatened to go on an indefinite strike, Mohan said.
