Unidentified robbers today allegedly strangulated an ATM security guard to death and tried to take out money by breaking open the cash dispensing machine of a private bank, police said today.
Police suspect the role of three-four persons in this incident which appeared to have taken place during early hours.
The incident came to light when father of the security guard, identified as Sahil (22), went to the ATM site at around 7:30 AM as his son did not return home upon ending duty hours, police said.
He found his son lying dead at the site and informed police about the incident.
Police said the accused first killed the security guard and then tried to break open the ATM to rob money but failed in their attempt.
However, they broke the CCTV cameras installed at the ATM site to hide their identity.
