In a major breakthrough, police have successfully stopped an attempted robbery at the State Bank of India (SBI) in Begun. Five criminals, part of an inter-state gang, were arrested while they were planning the robbery. The gang intended to take the bank’s security guard hostage as part of their plan.
Begun is a city and a municipality in Chittaurgarh district in the state of Rajasthan, India.
How the Robbery Plot Was Foiled
On Wednesday night, Shivlal Meena, the officer in charge of Begu police station, received a tip-off about the gang’s activities. Acting on the information, the police swiftly moved to Rawla Bawdi, located in front of the Neelkanth Mahadev temple. The criminals were hiding behind a 10-foot-high wall. The police managed to arrest them on the spot before they could execute their plan.
The gang had a disturbing plan to rob the bank. They planned to use chilli powder to blind the guard and then tie him up with a rope to take control of the bank. Fortunately, their plan was thwarted before they could cause any harm.
