Thieves in Madhya Pradesh are becoming smarter by the day. Unidentified robbers drugged a security guard and made away with an ATM machine containing Rs 1.69 lakh in cash after uprooting it on Saturday night. The Union Bank of India’s ATM counter was situated in Bilha-Miraganj area. “Around 2 am, the thieves reached the spot and drugged security guard B.P. Rajak. Then they dug up the 450-kg ATM machine and took it in a vehicle,” said T.K. Vidyarthi, additional superintendent of police (rural).
