A group of men broke into a building under construction near a bank in the Farsh Bazar area of northeast Delhi near Shahdara on Sunday evening. Then they broke through a wall to get into the bank and stole Rs 55 lakh. The thieves opened the bank’s safe with a gas cutter.
On Monday morning, the bank employees found the safe cut open and there was no cash. According to bank officials, at least Rs 55 lakh deposited on Friday and Saturday were gone. The bank was closed on Sunday, so police believe the robbery took place on Sunday night.
The defendants have not yet been identified and traced.

Police are searching CCTV footage of nearby areas and roads leading to the bank in search of suspicious movements or vehicles belonging to the defendant.
