KARNAL: The police have registered a case against unknown persons for uprooting and robbing an ICICI automated teller machine (ATM) in Karnal during the wee hours of Wednesday.

When he tried to catch the accused, they assaulted him. The scuffle drew a few people, who came to investigate the noise and the burglars abandoned the ATM and fled.
The police said the ATM had no guard and there was no CCTV camera installed at the spot. Karnal Sadar station house officer (SHO) Baljeet Singh said: “The investigation is under way. Cash worth Rs 2.93 lakh kept in the ATM machine is safe,” he said.
