Bengaluru: Thieves pose as officials, loot ₹7.11 crore from ATM cash van in daylight heist
Bengaluru: In a shocking incident of daylight robbery, a gang of miscreants intercepted a cash transport vehicle and made off with ₹7.11 crore in the heart of Bengaluru on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident occurred near Ashoka Pillar while a Cash Management Services (CMS) vehicle was en route to replenish ATMs.
According to preliminary reports, the van was transporting cash collected from the HDFC Bank branch in JP Nagar.
The robbers, who arrived in an Innova car, intercepted the cash van and posed as officials from the Tax Department. Claiming they needed to verify documents related to the cash being transported, they managed to gain control of the vehicle.
The gang reportedly drove the van, along with the CMS staff inside, from Ashoka Pillar to Dairy Circle. Upon reaching Dairy Circle, they forced the staff out of the vehicle and fled the scene with the cash.
Officers from the Suddaguntepalya Police Station arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported. An investigation is currently underway, and police are analyzing CCTV footage from the route to identify the perpetrators.

Davanagere: Students complain to ADC after finding worm in hostel idli-sambar
Davanagere: Students of Dr B.R. Ambedkar Post-Matric Hostel at SPS Nagar on Budal Road filed a complaint with the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) after allegedly finding a worm in the idli-sambar served to them.
The students brought a plate of the food to the ADC to highlight the issue. They alleged that unhygienic items such as hair, small stones, sticks and insects are being found in the food regularly.
They also complained that neither the kitchen staff nor the hostel warden was taking the issue seriously.
Responding to the complaint, ADC Sheelvant Shivakumar assured the students that action would be taken if lapses were found. He said he would visit the hostel soon to inspect the kitchen and check whether food is being served as per the approved menu.
