The CMC vehicle driver reportedly escaped with the cash on Thursday evening from an Axis Bank ATM in Gopanpally. He later abandoned the vehicle at Gaddar Chowrasta in Tellapur and travelled by auto-rickshaw to BHEL crossroads.

Police officials said the suspect checked into a lodge in Ashok Nagar, where he broke open the cash box and transferred the money into a bag. He then boarded a bus, got off at Miyapur, and is believed to have moved towards the IDA Bollaram area.

Police have intensified combing operations in Bollaram and Bachupally while analysing CCTV footage and call data records to trace the absconding driver.
