Bhind (Madhya Pradesh): Three miscreants carried out robbery at a petrol pump and shot a pump employee in the process on Monday in Bhind.

Three robbers, riding motorcycles, late in the night arrived at the Kusum Fueling Center near the Gormi police station. Under the guise of refueling, they engaged in a sinister plan. After filling their motorcycles with petrol, the criminals entered the pump's office.
