In a brazen daylight robbery on National Highway-9 in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, three armed men snatched a cash replenishing van containing ₹20 lakh (approximately $24,000 USD) around 1 PM. The van, which had four staff members, was parked near the ATM while the crew was filling cash. Witnesses reported hearing a gunshot as the robbers approached and forcibly took the vehicle. The cash van was later discovered abandoned near Masuri, approximately 15 km away on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Dhawal Jaiswal stated that the robbers likely transferred the cash to another vehicle to evade capture, as the expressway is under CCTV surveillance. Police have formed eight teams to investigate the incident and are questioning the staff of the cash-filling company regarding their involvement. An FIR will be filed once a formal complaint is made by the company.
