The incident occurred around 10:30 AM at the State Bank in Patara town, Ghatampur. A man, armed with a country-made pistol, entered the bank and attempted to rob it. The security guard, Sunil Kumar, noticed the weapon and tried to stop the robber. In response, the robber attacked the guard, stabbing him twice.
