BANGALORE
A staffer’s bag snatched away two days before the failed robbery, manager still missing.
The attempted robbery at a private finance firm in Tavarakere was a well-planned one, police said.
A staff member, responsible for the pair key that would open the office, had recently complained to the police that her bag, along with the key, was snatched away.
The other key was with the manager of the firm, Ravichandra Shetty, who has been missing ever since the robbery attempt was made on the night of June 18.
“To open the shutters, you require a combination of two keys. One is a staff key and other the manager’s key. The robbers had access to both keys,” an investigating officer said.
Two days before the incident, a complaint was lodged by Yashoda an employee of Muthoot Finance. Her complaint stated that her bag was snatched away by unidentified men, while she was walking on St John’s Hospital Road around 9pm.
The inspector of Madiwala police station, Ravikumar, said that the details of the bag snatching incident were passed on to investigators, after the robbery attempt.
Meanwhile, Shradda, daughter of manager Shetty, lodged a complaint saying her father had been missing since Friday. The Muthoot employees had seen him last around 6.30 pm, but the man did not reach his house at Vijaya Bank colony on Bannerghatta Road.
Shradda said in her complaint that the family members had talked to him around noon on Friday, but his mobile phone has been switched off since 8 pm on Friday.
Police sources said the robbery was a well-planned one. “But they were unaware of the burglar alarm. If the alarm was not installed, they would have got the money,” said an investigating officer. The police did not rule out the involvement of an insider in the incident.
The robbery bid was reportedly aborted after the burglar alarm went off.
Reddy’s family had not received any ransom demands, which made the police rule out the possibility of a kidnap.
