A youth from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, named Bharat alias Bablu, attempted to rob two ATM machines in one night to fund his upcoming wedding. However, his plan was foiled when a security alarm alerted the police during his second attempt. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, when Bharat first tried to break open the ATM of the Central Bank of India in the Raoji Bazar area. Despite his repeated efforts, he failed to breach the machine and moved on to the Bank of Maharashtra ATM in the Palsikar area.
At the second ATM, Bharat managed to damage the display and control panel, but the security alarm was triggered, notifying the bank manager, who immediately informed the police. A police team arrived at the scene around 1 am and caught Bharat red-handed while he was still trying to break into the machine. During interrogation, Bharat confessed that his motive was to cover his wedding expenses, which he was desperate to fund. He admitted to attempting the theft without a backup plan, hoping to get lucky.
However, this was not Bharat’s first brush with the law. He is a habitual offender with nine previous cases of theft, robbery, and other crimes registered against him. The police have registered a new case in connection with the ATM break-in attempts and are further questioning him to determine if he is linked to other recent incidents. Bharat’s actions demonstrate the desperate measures people may take when driven by financial need, but also highlight the importance of the security measures in place to prevent such crimes.
The incident serves as a reminder that the consequences of such actions can be severe, and the police are working to ensure that individuals like Bharat are held accountable for their actions. The case is currently under investigation, and the police are exploring all possible links to other crimes in the area. With Bharat’s history of crime, it is likely that he will face significant penalties for his actions. The incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of security measures in place to prevent such crimes and the need for increased vigilance to prevent future incidents.
