Key Questions Answered
Unidentified suspects wearing nighties and masks arrived in an ambulance at around 1 am to 1.30 am on Sunday, October 11, and used cutting equipment to break into an SBI ATM in Gandhari before escaping with cash.
Similar to the Kamareddy incident, suspects in earlier September 19 ATM robberies at Durshed and Thimmapur also allegedly wore women's clothing, used gas cutters, and attempted to obstruct CCTV surveillance.
No, the exact amount of cash stolen remains unconfirmed because officials still need to verify the ATM's cash balance to determine the precise financial loss.
