Gurdaspur (Punjab), January 8, 2025:- In Bhatoa village of Dinanagar town of Gurdaspur, robbers tried to rob an ATM of Punjab National Bank and later set the ATM on fire.
CCTV footage of a robber breaking the locks of the ATM and entering has also surfaced.
In the CCTV footage, a masked robber is seen entering the ATM late at night by lifting half the shutter and as soon as he enters, he sprays the cameras installed in the ATM and turns off the cameras.
It is not known how many people carried out this incident, but financial loss has been avoided because the robbers were not able to open the ATM. However, looking at the pictures of the scene, it seems that the robbers had made complete arrangements and had also brought a gas cutter with them.
The ATM fire is being investigated by the police who reached the spot, whether it was started by breaking the ATM by cutting off the gas or by robbers.
