Robbers tunnelled through 125 feet of earth and concrete to break into a nationalised bank’s strong room and loot cash and valuables worth crores of rupees in Haryana’s Gohana township.<br /> <br />Though the robbery was discovered on Monday morning, police said the gang committed the crime between Saturday night and early Monday.The audacious robbery – with shades of a similar crime shown in the hit Bollywood movie Dhoom -- was one of the biggest in the country in recent times and matched the sensational Chelambra bank robbery in Malappuram district of Kerala in 2007.<br /> <br />The branch manager Davinder Malik said the robbers managed to break open 90 lockers out of 360 at the strong room.<br /> <br />Gohana is in Sonepat district and around 200 km from capital Chandigarh.<br /> <br />The 2.5 feet width tunnel was dug from an abandoned building located across a lane of the Punjab National Bank branch at the old bus stand locality of the town.<br /> <br />Police found two rooms in the abandoned building filled with earth removed from the tunnel.<br /> <br />The robbers had also blocked the building’s windows with cardboard to hide their activities from the outside world.<br /> <br />Police said that the crime was planned and executed over many days, probably stretching for more a month.<br /> <br />Gohana deputy superintendent of police Rajeev Deshwal said they were studying CCTV footage in the bank to indentify suspicious persons in the past few weeks.<br /> <br />Banks, however, do not install CCTV cameras inside strong rooms. <br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/<br />For More information on this news, visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/hindi<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: http://www.facebook.com/InformationTV<br />Subscribe to our You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/itvnewsindia
