In a broad daylight robbery miscreants today looted Rs 22 lakh from a businessman and his brother and also shot at one of them in Okhla area of South Delhi, police said.
Businessman Ramesh and his brother Santosh had withdrawn Rs 22 lakh from the bank in Okhla and were heading towards their car when they were intercepted by three motor cycle borne miscreants who snatched the bag containing the money from them at gunpoint, a senior police officer said.
Both the brothers were injured as they were hit by the robbers while snatching money bag from them, the officer said, adding Santosh received bullet injury as the robbers fired during the loot.
The sound of gunshot attracted a crowd at the spot but the miscreants escaped from the scene by scattering some bank notes to distract people who tried to chase them.
Police suspected that the businessman was being watched by the robbers who were informed about the money withdrawn by them through some insider.
