New Delhi: In a second case of heist in New Delhi on Saturday, the driver of a van carrying cash for ATMs escaped with the vehicle and money worth Rs 51 lakh. The incident comes just a day after an ATM van carrying Rs 5 crore was looted by robbers in broad daylight in national capital's Defence Colony.
Saturday's incident took place at Mahindra Park in north-west Delhi. The van was carrying Rs 71 lakh and had three men inside - two custodians and one driver.
The van first stopped to deposit Rs 20 lakh at an ATM in north Delhi. It was when the van was passing Kirorimal College of North Campus that the driver offered food, which was reportedly laced with drugs, to the other two men in the vehicle.
As soon as the two men fell unconscious, the driver dropped both of them near the Jahangir Puri Metro station and escaped with the money. He also abandoned the van near the metro station parking.
Police have recovered the van and are on a look out for the absconding driver.
