New Delhi, October 29, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Four armed men allegedly barged into an office in Delhi’s Lahori Gate area on Thursday and escaped with ₹2.30 crore at gunpoint, prompting police to launch a search operation and examine CCTV footage to identify the suspects.
The robbery took place near Church Mission police station and Old Delhi Railway Station. According to preliminary information, the suspects threatened employees with pistols and warned them against raising an alarm or contacting the police.
The men allegedly took ₹2.30 crore kept in a cupboard, packed the cash into bags and fled in a car parked outside the premises.
Delhi Police has formed four teams to trace the suspects. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from inside the office and cameras along nearby roads to establish the identities of the accused and reconstruct their escape route.
Police are also questioning local residents and potential eyewitnesses to gather information about the getaway vehicle and the direction in which the suspects fled.
Investigators are examining whether the gang had conducted reconnaissance of the premises before the robbery and whether its members had prior knowledge of the cash kept inside. The possibility of an insider sharing information with the suspects is also being investigated.
The circumstances surrounding the office, described in initial reports as possibly linked to a government establishment, are yet to be fully established.
The brazen robbery in a busy part of the national capital has triggered an investigation into how the suspects gained access to the premises, carried out the operation and escaped with such a large amount of cash.
Police are continuing efforts to identify and apprehend those involved. The allegations and circumstances of the incident remain under investigation.
