Three bike-borne men robbed a petrol pump employee of Rs 4,30,000 cash here Monday, police said.
SHO, Gauriganj, JB Pandey said Paras Nath Verma, manager of Brij Mohan Automobile, and his companion Bhagwant Singh were going to a bank in Barna Tikar to deposit the cash, when the incident occurred.
When the two reached Lodi Baba Bridge on Banda-Tanda National Highway, three men beat them, snatched the bag of cash and fled the scene.
The two men were shifted to District Hospital Gauriganj, where their condition is said to be "out of danger".
Gauriganj police has lodged a case under relevant sections of IPC, the SHO said, adding that the police is combing the area and the accused may be nabbed soon.
In protest of this incident most petrol pumps in the district allegedly stopped business on Monday.
