The incident took place at around 12.15 pm on Monday near the Corporation Bank at Jyoti Nagar. The victim, identified as Rohit, came out of the bank after withdrawing a cash of Rs 31 lakh. In the meantime, four armed men, their faces covered by helmets approached him on two separate motorbikes and tried to snatch the cash bag. Rohit raised an alarm, hearing which, one Manish Goyal, who was standing nearby came out running and fought to avert the robbery bid.
In the fear of being caught, the armed assailants opened three rounds of fire. One of the bullets hit Manish, who is a resident of the Gokulpuri area near Sabzi Mandi.
