ATM in Agra burns down with 30 lakhs of cash inside
Agra: A State Bank of India ATM loaded with Rs 30 lakh in cash was destroyed after it caught fire on Tuesday night, police said.

It took the fire brigade more than an hour to douse the flames in Etmadpur, a town 20 km from here.

The security guard at the ATM told the police that the fire started from the air-conditioner.

Ram Kishore, manager of the bank, told the police said Rs 30 lakh had been put into the automated teller machine (ATM) an hour before the incident.

The machine had been repaired after being out of order for more than a week.
