Baddi, August 12: Baddi police solved the ATM robbery case on Baddi-Nalagarh highway by arresting two of the five suspects involved in the crime. The arrests were made within 12 hours of the incident, with the suspects being nabbed from Kharar in Punjab.
Around Rs 18 lakh was stolen in the robbery at SBI ATM in Bagvania village on Friday morning. The arrested suspects have been identified as Dalwinder Singh and Mastan Ali, residents of Manguwal village in Nawanshahr, Punjab.
DSP Baddi, Khajana Ram, revealed that the suspects abandoned the Maruti car used in the crime near Dherrowal and boarded a truck, which was later traced to Nawanshahr. Police also recovered the Innova car used for surveillance before the robbery, which was stopped near Kharar.
Baddi police have recovered Rs 1 lakh in cash from the suspects, who allegedly carried out the entire robbery in just 14 minutes by using a gas cutter to break open the ATMs. Despite an alarm being sounded at the SBI’s Mumbai office, the robbers managed to escape before the police arrived.
In a related development, an ATM tray containing Rs 4,500 was found in a field near Bela village in Nalagarh. The police are continuing to search for the remaining three suspects.
