Cash vans in Delhi have become a recent target for gangs. On Friday evening, a group of armed men targeted a cash van that had arrived at an ATM in northwest Delhi's Bhalswa Dairy area and shot at the armed security guard, before fleeing with the cash.

The incident took place around 4 pm when a cash van with four occupants, including an armed guard, arrived at an ATM in Bhalswa Dairy area to refill the machine. Locals and witnesses told police, it was when the van's occupants were taking the cash box to the ATM, two men wearing helmets arrived at the spot on a bike and aimed a pistol at the guard.

"They asked the men to open the cash box but they resisted. Seeking an opportunity as the guard tried to raise his rifle, one of the men shot him. As the guard collapsed, the man with a pistol picked up the cash bag and fled on the bike," said a senior police officer.

The officials with the van then called up the police and the guard, Manoj Kumar, was rushed to a hospital where his condition was declared stable. Police said that the cash van officials informed them that the accused managed to flee with around Rs 12 lakh. A case has been registered on the statements of the van occupants.
