In Patna, the capital of Bihar, a contractor's driver lost 20 lakh rupees for 10 rupees. The contractor was going somewhere in a car with three people. On the way, he stopped the car and went to a nearby building for some work. He told the driver that there is cash worth lakhs in the car. Take care of it. As soon as the contractor left from there, a person came to the driver. He said - there is a bundle of 10 rupee notes lying on the road. Maybe it is yours.
Hearing this, the driver got greedy. He got out of the car and started picking up 10 rupee notes. The man behind picked up the bag lying inside the car along with his companions and fled from there. This bag contained cash worth 20 lakh rupees. The driver chased those miscreants. But by then it was too late. He ran to his owner. He told him everything. The contractor then went to the police station and lodged a complaint. Police say that this seems to be the work of a 'note gang'. The miscreants of this gang confuse people by dropping notes on the ground and then run away after stealing their valuables and cash.
This incident is from Shastri Nagar area. Here, on Monday afternoon around 1 o'clock, near Visvesvaraya Bhavan, the driver of a contractor from Saharsa district was made a victim of the 'note gang'. The victim contractor Harishankar Jha had come to Visvesvaraya Bhavan with three other people for some work. His driver parked the vehicle on the roadside. After this, the contractor went inside Visvesvaraya Bhavan.
The driver got greedy
Meanwhile, a person came to his driver and told him that there were 10-10 rupee notes lying on the road and went ahead. When the driver looked down, he found the notes lying there. Greedily, he started picking up the money, but the miscreants took out the bag kept in the car and ran away. When the driver went to the back, he saw the gate of the car open. The bag full of money kept inside was also missing. He was shocked to see this. He immediately informed his boss. When the driver told the contractor the whole thing, he understood that the miscreants had taken away the money by tricking him. After this, he reached Shastri Nagar police station and informed the police about the whole matter.
According to the SHO, the CCTV cameras installed around the crime scene are being scanned. Investigation is on in the case. Many such cases have come to light earlier as well.
