Patna: Four masked, armed men looted Rs. 1 crore from an Axis Bank branch in Bihar’s Vaishali district on Tuesday, police said.
Vaishali police issued CCTV footage where the accused were wearing face masks and helmets and pistols in the hand and bags. The bank heist took place at Teenpulwa Chowk in Lalganj block of the district.
The accused, after committing the crime, also took away the hard disk of the CCTV cameras as well.

The robbers struck the bank as soon as it opened on Tuesday morning, barging in and holding up all the employees and customers at gunpoint.
