Man decamps with Rs 66,000

In an incident involving ingenious criminal intent, a man was robbed of Rs 66,000 near the UCO Bank premises under Paltan Bazar police station today.
Lal Mohan Singh had taken out an amount of Rs 66,000 from the bank and was about to move away on his bicycle parked nearby when a person told him that there were some currency notes on the ground which could belong to him.

Thinking it could be so, Singh’s attention was diverted from his cycle where he had kept the cash. But during those moments the unknown person picked up Singh’s cash and disappeared from the scene. Investigation is on.
