A Sub-Registrar office stamp vendor was hacked and Rs6 lakh looted from him by three unidentified bike-borne miscreants at Chachera, Bauri Sahi under the Khordha Town police station on Monday.
According to sources, Jatni Sub-Registrar office stamp vendor Benudhar Nayak was attacked by the miscreants with sharp weapons when he was going to the State Bank of India (SBI), Khordha to deposit Rs 6 lakh which was in his bike basket at around 2 pm.
When the victim was crossing Chachera, Bauri Sahi, a quite isolated place, the miscreants intercepted him and hacked him with a sword injuring him in his hand and snatched the cash from him.
Before the official could run for help, the robbers had fled from the spot. The victim was rushed to the Khordha District Headquarters Hospital.
Meanwhile, a case was registered at the Khordha Town police station while cops started investigation into the incident.
