In the video, a man in a brown checked shirt and jeans is seen smashing the window of a BMW X5 car and gaining access while his accomplice, who appears in a white shirt, waits on a motorcycle. The miscreant who broke the window then slips into the car and takes out two bags containing the money. He then gets on the motorcycle and the duo then flee the scene with the money.
From the video, it appears as if the miscreants were aware of the cash lying in the car.
Surprisingly, on the other side of the car, you can see some locals standing only a few meters away from the car, waiting for public transport, but still nobody notices the robbery happening.
According to the Times Now, the incident reportedly took place near the sub-registrar’s office in Sompura, Sarjapur. The car belonged to Babu, a resident of Anekal Taluk in Bengaluru.
After the video of the incident went viral, a case was filed at the Sarjapur Police Station and the police are on the lookout for the accused.
