Two youths dupe Post Office official of over Rs 4 lakh

Two Post Office employees were allegedly duped by two youths of nearly Rs four lakh at Vikas Bazar post office this morning, police said.
The incident took place when postal employee Satya Prakash Sharma and his driver Mahamood Hasan were delivering a bag containing Rs 3.84 lakh cash and postal stamps worth Rs 84 thousand at Vikas Bazar post office.
Sharma had kept the bag aside when the two motorcycle borne youths suddenly lifted the bag and fled.
"A team of Kotwali police is trying to work out the case, however, it doesn't seem like loot but trickery," SSP Nitin Tewari said.

The money and postal stamps were meant to be distributed in eight post offices in the city. "A departmental probe has also been ordered and an FIR has been filed," Superintendent post offices Mathura, Sunil Kumar said.
