Last year in Mumbai, three men stole cash worth ₹77.18 lahks from an ATM vending centre in Goregaon (E), and then set the machine ablaze to erase traces. After the fire brigade doused the fire, they found that the cash vaults were locked. However, after opening them, it was found that the money was stolen.
