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.
