NEW DELHI: A man who robbed a bank by pretending to be a human bomb was arrested in New Delhi on Sunday and part of the stolen money was recovered -- minus what was spent on a vacation in Thailand.

Suspect Sandeep Bhatnagar told police he thought of the desperate plan to raise money he owed to clients of his travel agency in New Delhi.

"Bhatnagar was under a lot of debt and so he robbed the bank," deputy police commissioner Robin Hibu said.

"And after paying off his debts he went on a vacation to Thailand with a girlfriend."

Police found Rs 1 million on the suspect, Hibu said. He said Bhatnagar distributed Rs 4 million to two associates who helped him plan the robbery.

Bhatnagar walked into the Unit Trust of India bank on May 8 and even queued up for half an hour at the counter before going to the branch manager's office where he threatened to blow himself up.

He waited while the manager Sandeep Dham had a cashier hand over the money.

Bhatnagar was then escorted off the premises by Dham and two messengers, who hailed a cab for him, police added.
