CLOSE ON the heels of the Rs 15 crore burglary incident at Anini Treasury office in Dibang Valley district, a miscreant looted Rs 33 lakh in broad daylight from a bank official at gun-point at Tadar Tang Marg here on Wednesday.
Papum Pare Superintendent of Police (SP) Hibu Tamang told UNI that when the official, along with a security guard, was taking the money to deposit at the ATM machine located at Legi Market here, five armed miscrents waylaid him and looted the booty.
They fled with the vehicle owned by the bank, Mr Tamang added.
The dacoits also wounded the guard and took away his AK 47 rifle, along with a few rounds of live ammunition.
However, they abandoned the vehicle near Doordarshan Colony here, which was later recovered by the police.
