With the city witnessing a spate of bank robberies, it was the alertness of two traffic policemen attached to the Sahkarnagar traffic branch that helped in foiling another robbery. Traffic constables Dilip Aba Jadhav and Bhagyawan Dnyandev Nikam helped in nabbing one of the three persons who tried to rob Bank of Baroda's ATM branch at Wonder City on the westerly bypass.
The constables were on duty at the Katraj-Dehu Road bypass when at around 2.15 am on Friday they heard windows being smashed at the Wonder City building. They found three unidentified persons trying to get into the Bank of Baroda's ATM that was located on the ground floor of the building.
As soon as the constables reached the place, the trio tried to flee. However, they were able to nab one of them who was trying to start his motorcycle. The detained person Shrinivas Narsing Koli (24) is a resident of Anand Nagar at Market Yard.
For further investigation, the case has been handed to the Katraj police who believe that the detained person can provide clues to several other cases of robbery and theft in residences and also of vehicles.
