Two bike-borne miscreants looted Rs5.5 lakh from an employee of a rice wholesaler at gunpoint on Bisra Dahar Road under the Uditnagar police station on Monday evening.
Source said that at about 7 pm, Kalia, an employee of rice wholesaler Naresh Agarawal, was going to his owner’s house carrying the cash in a bag from the godown at Dengodena Hotel lane. While he arrived near the gate of Agrawal’s house, the criminals intercepted him and decamped with the cash by attacking on his head with the butt of a revolver.
Kalia is now undergoing treatment at the IGH. The Uditnagar police rushed to the spot and started investigation by analysing the CCTV footage of nearby Saraswati Vidyamandir.
