Abohar, Fazilka, Punjab: A robbery attempt took place late Friday night at Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Balluana village, Abohar (Fazilka district). Thieves tried to break into the bank by making a hole in the back wall, but fortunately, they could not open the cash safe, so no money was stolen.
As soon as the bank staff discovered the break-in, they informed the police. The Sadar police station team reached the spot immediately and began investigating the case. The bank manager, Sachin, gave a statement to the police, based on which a case has been registered against unknown persons.
