On November 2014, two unidentified bike-borne men had gunned down a security guard and robbed Rs 1.5 crore from an ATM kiosk in Kamla Nagar in broad daylight.

According to the police, the robbers had allegedly kept the briefcase containing the cash on their bike after firing two more shots in the air and fled with ease. The guard, Satender Singh (28), died of his injuries at the hospital. He belongs to Mainpuri area in UP and his family has been informed.
