Ex servicemen looted of Rs 20 lakh

Unidentified persons stole a bag containing Rs 20 lakh from the car of a retired armyman in north Delhi's Timarpur area, police said today.
Ravinder was on way to his to Panipat in Haryana with his friend Ashok in his car when they were stopped by two bike-borne men around 4.56 pm near Majnu Ka Tila, who told him that the car had hit a man, a police official said.
Ravinder told police that their car had "touched" a man but when the bike-borne men told him that the man was injured, he locked his car and went to help him.

When they returned, they found a window of their car smashed and the bag with Rs 20 lakh cash missing, he said.
Ravinder said he had given Rs 20 lakh that he had got after retirement to his maternal uncle in Gurgaon who is a property dealer. The uncle had been asking him to come and collect the money from the last few days, the official said.
Today, he collected the money from his uncle in Gurgaon and came to Delhi to meet a friend at India before leaving for Panipat, he added.
Police is suspecting that the two bike-borne men might have been following Ravinder from Gurgaon.

We are also probing whether someone known to the armymanis involved in the theft, the official added.
