Summary:
"There was a clear attempt to commit theft in the bank as the tunnel ended just at the strong room wall of the bank," said Ashish Srivastava, circle officer, Sadar, Ghaziabad. GHAZIABAD: A suspected gang of thieves attempted a daring heist at a branch of Oriental Bank of Commerce in Muradnagar by digging a five-feet long tunnel right up to its strong room. "I opened my shop as usual early morning and scaled the boundary wall of a nearby plot adjoining the Oriental Bank of Commerce to throw garbage," said Sanju. Had this not been found today, the robbers would have gained access to the bank's strong room," said Srivastava, adding that the robbers could be from a nearby area as they knew the bank building very well. The wall of the bank, however, was not breached..
