GUWAHATI: Miscreants looted a bag containing Rs. 50,000 from inside a car parked in the high surveillance protected India Club near Dighalipukhuri in Guwahati.
The incident happened on 1st December, around 5:30 pm. The bag was looted from Pramod Singhania, an outstation member of the prestigious club.
Four miscreants on two motor-bikes reportedly followed Singhania up to the club premises. While the others kept the club's security personnel engaged in a conversation, one of them broke the back window of the car and decamped with a bag containing the money.
