MUKTSAR – The district police booked three employees of a Mohali-based private security firm, which deals in loading cash in ATMs, for allegedly running away with nearly Rs 2 crore on September 19.

The accused are identified as Jagsir Singh, Mukesh Kumar of Khuikhera village of Fazilka and Gurcharan Singh of Khemakhera village of Muktsar. Surjeet Singh, Deputy Manager, ISS SDB Security Services Limited, Mohali, told The Tribune over the phone that three employees of their company had been missing since September 19.

“The matter was reported to the police as the trio was seen in seven ATM booths in Muktsar, Malout and Fazilka between 9 pm and 10 pm the same day. Though the footage did not clearly show them taking away cash from ATMs, they did try to disconnect CCTV cameras,” he said.

He said two ATMs of ICICI Bank in Muktsar, three of SBI in Malout and one each of ICICI Bank and Central Bank of India in Fazilka had been sealed. “The exact amount stolen would be ascertained tomorrow,” he said.
