The incident took place on Wednesday evening near Hari Nagar Ghanta Ghar when the employee, identified as Satender, was carrying the cash in a bag to make a payment, they said. When the vehicle stopped near CD Block, the two men on a scooter approached it. The pillion rider then allegedly pointed a pistol at Satender’s head and snatched the bag containing the cash. Police are scanning CCTV footage from the crime spot and adjoining areas and examining the possible entry and exit routes used by the suspects.
Satender was travelling in an autorickshaw carrying Rs 20 lakh, according to police.
The robbers fled the spot before Satender or the autorickshaw driver could react, police said. Police said teams have been formed to identify and apprehend the accused. The manner in which the robbers allegedly targeted the employee and fled with the cash has led police to suspect that they may have had prior information about the movement of the money, officials said.
