Cash Van Shooting

It was a regular afternoon for 40-year-old security guard Arun Shukla. He was travelling in a cash van, keeping watch as it moved along the Mehrauli-Badarpur road in New Delhi today, carrying Rs 14 lakh in cash. As the van stopped at a red light, a scene straight-out-of a crime movie unfolded.

A 50-year-old security guard of a cash van was killed after unidentified persons allegedly opened fire at the vehicle carrying Rs 4.2 crore in an attempt to rob it near the DND toll plaza in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar, police said yesterday.

In a daring daylight robbery, two armed motorcycle-borne assailants escaped with over Rs 19 lakh from a cash van on Friday after shooting at one of the bank staff who had come to refill an ATM in west Delhi, police said.
