Great Indian bank robbery - robbers tunnel their way to 89 bank lockers in India


The police do not have any clue to the robbery in the Punjab National Bank in Sonipat where robbers dug a 7-ft high, nearly 125-feet long 125 feet long and 2.5 feet wide tunnel without making any sound indianexpress.com . They were able to access 89 bank lockers and make good their escape with nearly Rs 100 crores three days back.
The only clue that the police have is a razor blade and mounds of soil that had been dug up.
It seems the digging was done from an abandoned building next to the bank from and the robbers have made a clean job since they have not left behind any clue. The police are trying to trace the owner of the deserted building.
Initial investigations indicate that the bank did not construct the locker room “as per norms of the currency chest”, neither did they install a “steel plate into the floor”. Moreover, the “almirahs in the bank were also 60-70 years old”, neither is there any CCTV in the premises.
