How Did Youth Take Away Money at the Bank?
A bank in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan witnessed a brazen daytime heist when an employee carrying cash collections from a local petrol pump arrived to deposit funds at the counter.

The theft in broad daylight went unnoticed among the other customers at the bank, allowing the youth to quickly grab the cash and escape from the premises before anyone could react.
