Imphal, Sept 4:
In what appears to be a well planned robbery, SBI Churachandpur was allegedly looted of approximately Rs 1.15 crore by a group of people earlier today.
According to source, SBI staff in Churachandpur was allegedly shot at right in front of the branch in the incident, injuring a person that took place on Friday. The looted amount was supposed to be dispensed for ATMs in and around Churachandpur.
The incident took place, allegedly around noon, when armed men shot fire at the security guard of an ATM opposite the SBI branch office, Tiddim road, the busiest branch of the bank in the town. The robbers escaped with the money on a bike, according to source.
The person injured was from an outsourced agency who was supposed to deposit the money in an ATM, sources said. Police have taken all the outsourced staff for questioning and further investigation.
