00:00The mega Karnataka bank heist that has been reported where 21 crore rupees were looted
00:05from Vijayapura SPI branch in Karnataka. Daring daylight dacoity that was carried out by armed
00:12gang. In fact, five mass dacoits who struck this SPI branch of the bank. Cash, gold, all of that
00:22was looted in this bank heist to the tune of 21 crore rupees that was looted in all.
00:28These bank robbers who were dressed in military style clothes and that is what helped them
00:36get past. We are trying to get details from my colleague to understand how exactly was
00:41this heist carried out but those are the pictures from inside the bank of what had happened.
00:48Sagaira joining us on the phone line. Sagaira, this is shocking. 21 crore rupees looted and
00:54savings of innocence that were invested in that bank. How was this dacoity carried out
01:00and what does the investigation say?
01:07For the pretext of opening a bank account, these looters had entered the bank and much
01:13before they could even execute their plan. They had visited the bank multiple times and
01:18they have done their survey in the bank and that's when they have realized that when they
01:24can loot it and they have planned late in the evening when the bank was supposed to shut
01:29down. That's when a person with the mask entered the bank stating that he want to open an account
01:34and thereafter, while talking on a pretext of opening an account, two people were waiting
01:38outside the bank and realized that there was nobody, that's when they had looted the money
01:44at gunpoint. Remember the bank manager and everybody who were present at that point of
01:49time were tied or they had used a rope to them and thereafter they have looted around 21.04 crore rupees
01:57money and jewellery. And this is not the first time this kind of incident has been reported. Even in the past in
02:03Vijayapura district itself, there was a bank robbery which was been reported even in Kalburi and Bidar and
02:09this is probably fourth or the fifth incident which has been reported from the state of Karnataka.
02:14All right Sakai Rajmei, thanks for getting us those details. We'll keep coming back to you for further updates.
