Two masked individuals armed with pistols entered a bank in Shivpuri on Thursday evening but fled without cash as the bank had closed.
A tense incident unfolded in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday evening when two masked men carrying pistols entered a local bank. The suspects threatened bank employees and demanded cash, attempting to execute a robbery.
However, the criminal bid failed because the bank's operating hours had already ended. The perpetrators were unable to obtain the keys to the cash vault, leaving them with no option but to flee the premises empty-handed after lingering for approximately five minutes.
This incident marks the second attempted robbery at the same location within the past 13 days. The recurrence of such attempts has raised concerns about the security protocols at the banking facility in the region.
