One robber pointed a gun wrapped in cloth to the Branch Manager's head while another threatened with a knife. The officers did not make any sound out of fear. Meanwhile, the remaining 3 filled their bags with jewelry and cash in the safe and left. 

After the robbers had escaped, the bank officers informed the city police station's Police Inspector Usman Shaikh. Late at night, Bookkeeper Satish Futane filed a complaint at the Anandnagar Police Station. 

Came as customers and robbed the bank...

  • As the bank was situated at a busy place surrounded by other shops and offices if any noise would've been made during the robbery, it would've been difficult for the burglars to escape. 
  • The investigation is underway as whereabouts provided by the dog squad, evidence gathered by experts and CCTV footage are being consulted.
