PATNA: An unidentified criminal looted Rs8.6 lakh from Mukut Shree petrol pump manager Achyutanand Rai (40) after hitting him on the head near Kankarbagh Colony Mor in Patna on Tuesday.
Rai was admitted to a private hospital. Rai was about to enter the SBI’s branch to deposit the cash when someone hit him hard on his head from behind. “I was unable to see who was there and what weapon he had as I fell unconscious after that,” he said.
City SP (East) Jitendra Kumar said Rai was about to climb the stairs to reach the bank when the incident took place.
“Rai’s colleague had probably entered inside when someone hit him with a rod and fled with the cash,” he said.
Kumar quoted Rai as saying that he was carrying Rs8.6 lakh. “CCTV camera footage is being scanned to identify the criminal,” he added.
In a separate incident, unidentified armed criminals looted Rs2.77 lakh after shooting at the cashier of a customer service point (CSP) near Dhanauti Bazaar under Guthani police station area in Siwan district on Tuesday. Guthani SHO Manoranjan Kumar said the victim was identified as Mankeshwar Chaubey (36) of Karnai under Darauli PS area in Siwan. He said the incident took place at around 2.30pm when Chaubey was returning after withdrawing money from the Mairwan Bazaar branch. Mankeshwar is a cashier of one Dilip Singh, who runs two CSPs of SBI at Jataur.
Quoting the victim, the SHO said at least five criminals on two bikes intercepted him at a secluded place. “Chaubey resisted the loot bid and a scuffle broke out when criminals opened fire resulting in gunshot injury in his left thigh,” the SHO said.
