However, as he could not draw a demand draft from another bank, he came back to Aptus and spoke to the bank officials.

In the meanwhile, the unidentified persons, who were following the car, waited for the opportunity and as Venkatesh was speaking to the bank officials, they smashed open the windown on the driver’s side and fled with over Rs.3 lakh, according to reports.

The police checked the CCTV footage from a jewelry store on the same road and were making efforts to nab the thieves, the reports said.
