The police were immediately intimated about the robbery. This is among many armed robbery cases in the city in just a span of two months.
Earlier a distributor of a dairy firm was shot dead by armed robbers who fled with at least Rs 2 lakh from the person.
The police despite stating that they had leads on the case, could not track the robbers. Although a few arrests were made, none of them turned out to be the actual culprits behind the case.
