Bangalore, May 14 (PTI) : In a daring daylight strike, a 15-member gang allegedly robbed about Rs 1 crore being transported for loading in ATMs by a private agency here.

The culprits, who came in two vehicles, attacked the cash loaders and the gunman and escaped with about Rs 1 crore cash. The three received minor injuries and have been hospitalised, police said.

    By all prability this is a insiders job.Now a days the job of cash loading to ATMs is being entrusted to private agencies(outsourcing) who neither have any code of conduct for carying out such specialised jobs nor secrecy being maintained on excution of alloted job. Loyalty/trust factor is generally at its lowest level. Todays employee will not be there tomarrow. This is the main hindering factor so such crimes tend to occur. Maintaining secrecy is not maintained on envisaged job and culprits get ready information to plan the crime.

    So silly, why the gunmen for, have the no authority to fire when needed or only to show-off. There must be something fishy in this incident. Banks should ascertain the credentials of these private firms for these purposes. Nowadays these cases are becoming common.

    Police should thoroughly investigate. I feel it has been successfully carried out with insiders involvement and logistic support. Why the gunman didnt fire when the looters were unarmed and only used logs to waylaid the vehicle... something is fishy here and I am sure very soon the police will crack the case....Hold on to your breate.
