Public Relation Officer PK Purohit said that according to the CCTV security cameras footages from 2.40 am to 3.50 am as many as five youths in the age group of 18 to 22 years entered the NITTTR premises and took a 55 inch TV by threatening the guard Harshit Dube of his life after keeping a sharp edged weapon on his neck guard. Dube was deployed for guarding the part of the premises which had meeting hall on Tuesday.
The footage showed details that the miscreants escaped towards Banganga area. In the footage it could be clearly seen that the miscreants were carrying a long sharp edged weapon but the footage doesn’t provide the incident occurred with Dube as it occurred inside the room. The footage would be very helpful in establishing identity of the miscreants which were captured during their fearless short stint at NITTTR, he added.
