The Bengaluru police have cracked the sensational ₹7.11 crore ATM cash van robbery case, arresting three people—including a serving police constable and the in-charge of the cash refill van. City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh announced that ₹5.76 crore of the stolen amount has been recovered following an intense investigation that exposed insider involvement in the heist.

According to officials, the accused include a constable from the Govindarajanagar police station, a former employee of CMS Info System Limited, and the cash refill van’s in-charge. The revelation has sent shockwaves through the city’s law enforcement and financial circles, raising questions about insider involvement in high-stakes cash transport operations.

Investigators began closing in on the suspects after analyzing mobile tower data collected from the location of the daylight robbery. The data revealed suspicious communication between the constable and the former CMS employee, both of whom had exchanged several calls during and before the heist. This critical lead prompted the police to widen their probe and detain the duo for questioning.

As the investigation deepened, evidence emerged of regular communication between the two men in the days leading up to the robbery. The inquiry also led police to the getaway vehicle used in the crime, which was later found abandoned near Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district—further confirming the pair’s connection to the incident.

Commissioner Singh praised the swift and coordinated efforts of the crime branch team, stating that most of the stolen cash had been recovered and that efforts were underway to trace the remaining amount. Authorities are now investigating whether more individuals were involved in planning or aiding the heist, marking this as one of the most dramatic breakthroughs in Bengaluru’s recent crime history.
