Hyderabad: Bidar ATM robbers narrowly escape while police attempt to arrest accused
Hyderabad: Two suspects involved in the shooting and burglary at Bidar ATM narrowly escaped capture by the police in Hyderabad on Thursday evening. The gang of two men who allegedly shot at an SBI security guard who had come to fill an ATM in Bidar and fled with Rs 93 lakh in cash were traced down to a travelling agency in Hyderabad.
According to reports, the two assailants, who arrived in Hyderabad, which is about 150 km from Bidar, at around 3-4 pm, booked a bus ticket to Raipur under the identity of Amit Kumar at Roshan Travels, a traveling agency in Masjid Chaman area of Afzal Ganj, owned by Riyaz.
Acting on the tip-off, the Bidar police reached Hyderabad, and joined the same bus towards Raipur at 7:00 PM to apprehend the robbers.
As part of a routine security check, passengers were transferred from a small bus near Savera Palace to a larger vehicle. During this transfer, travel agency staff became suspicious of the two passengers carrying oversized bags. Ticket manager Jahangir attempted to inspect their luggage when the suspects offered him a wad of cash to dissuade him.
When Jahangir persisted, the robbers pulled out a gun, fired two shots, and fled the scene. Jahangir was hit and is currently receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of a local hospital.
Sources indicate that the accused were from North India.

Kunal Kamra shares screenshot of 'Bigg Boss' offer, says 'much rather check into mental hospital'
New Delhi: Comedian Kunal Kamra says he was approached to feature on the upcoming season of the popular reality series Bigg Boss, an offer he turned down.
The comic on his Instagram Story on Tuesday shared a screenshot of his purported WhatsApp conversation with someone who claimed to be "handling the casting for this season of Bigg Boss".
According to the screenshot shared by Kamra, the casting professional said the comic's name came up as someone they might find interesting.
"I know it might not have been on your radar, but honestly, it's such a mad platform to show your real vibe and win over a massive audience. What do you think? Should we talk about it?" the person wrote in the text.
In his response, the comedian said: "I would much rather check into a mental hospital..." It's unclear whether Kamra, who is facing multiple FIRs for his comments, was offered the 19th season of Bigg Boss or the season four of its OTT version.
In 2023, there were reports that Kamra was in talks to join Bigg Boss OTT 2.
The comedian, known for his anti-establishment views, is embroiled in a controversy over his 'traitor' jibe against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in his latest stand-up show "Naya Bharat" which premiered on his YouTube channel last month.
On Monday, Kamra wrote an open letter online ticketing platform BookMyShow requesting it to either not delist him or to hand over the contact information of audience members he has earned through his solo shows over the years.
Earlier this week, the comedian also moved the Bombay High Court, seeking to quash an FIR lodged against him by the city police for his alleged remarks against Shinde, with the Madras High Court extending his interim anticipatory bail in relation to the case till April 17.
Kamra also claimed he has been receiving death threats after the show and hence, requested the police to question him via video conference.
