Armed Miscreants Loot ₹10 Lakh from Baleshwar Grameen Bank in Daylight Robbery

Baleshwar, Odisha: Panic gripped Rasalpur Grameen Bank under Sadar police station limits after five armed miscreants stormed the branch in broad daylight on Tuesday.

The gang looted cash and jewellery worth nearly Rs 10 lakh around 3:15 PM, despite the bank being located just 400 meters from a police outpost.

According to eyewitnesses, the robbers brandished weapons and demanded locker keys. When the bank manager resisted, he was attacked and left bleeding.

The entire operation lasted about 15 minutes, leaving staff and customers terrified.

The injured manager was rushed to the hospital, while police arrived after the culprits had fled.

A probe has been launched to trace the gang, whose audacity has sparked concern among local traders and residents about security lapses in the area.
