MP Shocker: Property Dealer Looted At Gunpoint In His Office In Dabra, Masked Men Decamp With ₹14.5 Lakh

Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): A property dealer was looted of Rs 14.5 lakh at gunpoint in his office in Madhya Pradesh's Dabra on Monday evening. The accused, then, locked him in the office toilet and fled.

The incident took place at the property dealer's office on Kamal Talkies Road in Dabra.

According to information, five masked men barged into the office of property dealer Manohar Hablani in Dabra. They threatened him with a gun and looted him of Rs 14.5 lakh cash. The accused locked the victim in the toilet and fled on two bikes.

No CCTV camera was installed inside his office, so the incident could not be captured. However, the CCTVs set up at the opposite side of the road show a group of men, covering their faces, walking in Hablani's office.

Hablani's brother informed the police. A team of cops reached the spot. Police are searching CCTV cameras installed along the roadside to identify the unknown miscreants.

ATM uprooted

Several incidents of loot have been reported in the Gwalior-Chambal region in the past few days.

A group of miscreants made an unsuccessful attempt to rob an SBI ATM in Dabra on November 28. They uprooted the machine carrying Rs 9 lakh cash and took it with them. The next day, the cash-loaded machine was found abandoned in a Datia village. Police suspect that after failed attempts to unlock or break the machine, the accused must have abandoned it and fled.

Cops suspect the involvement of the Mevati gang, infamous for targeting ATM machines during winter.
