Bengaluru Cash Van Heist An Inside Job? New Recruits, Lapses Under Scrutiny

The investigation into the dramatic Rs 7 crore daylight heist in Bengaluru, where a CMS cash van was robbed on Tuesday, has intensified, with the police zeroing in on the possibility of an inside job. Sources told NDTV on Wednesday that driver Vinod, custodian Aftab, gunman Rajanna, and staffer Thammayya were subjected to extensive interrogation to verify their accounts. 

All four have reportedly given similar statements and denied any involvement in the robbery. The police seized their mobile phones to examine whether any photographs of the vehicle, bank, or the route were taken or deleted, or to check if photographs or sensitive information were forwarded to anyone.
