Men posing as tax officials rob ATM cash van, flee with Rs 7 crore in Bengaluru

The incident reportedly occurred near the Ashoka Pillar when the vehicle was transporting cash from a bank branch in JP Nagar. According to a preliminary investigation, a group of men arrived in a car carrying a Government of India sticker and stopped the cash vehicle, claiming to verify documents.

The suspects forced the people inside the van into their car along with cash and drove towards Dairy Circle, where they dropped the staff and sped away with the cash.

Speaking on the incident on Thursday, Karnataka Home Minister H Parameshwara said that something like this has never happened in Bengaluru before.
