Robbery Attempt in PNB ATM in Bihar, Man Damaged the Entire ATM

A thief tried to rob an ATM of Punjab National Bank in Bihar. The incident took place at a Punjab National Bank (PNB) ATM in Simrahi Bazaar, in Supaul district.

A masked man damaged the entire ATM to steal the cash. The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of the Raghopur police station. With no security guard present at the ATM premises, the accused allegedly entered the premises and used an iron rod to attack the machine. He damaged the shutter, keypad and cash dispenser section.

However, his efforts proved unsuccessful as he could not break open the cash box. The bank’s money remained untouched despite the damage caused to the ATM.

The incident came to light when property owner Kundan Sah noticed the damaged ATM door and alerted the police. Officers from the Raghopur police station soon reached the location and found parts of the machine scattered inside the premises.

During the investigation, police examined CCTV footage recorded by a camera installed outside the ATM. The footage reportedly captured the suspect’s face and showed the damage caused to the machine. Using these visuals, officers identified the accused and arrested him.
