Armed Miscreants Loot Valuables From Finance Firm Office In Odisha

Dhenkanal: A group of armed miscreants reportedly attacked the employees of a finance company and looted gold jewelleries, computers and other valuables from the firm's office at Kunjakanta Lalit Nagar under Town Police limits in Dhenkanal district.

According to sources, seven to eight miscreants wearing helmets barged into the office of the finance firm last night and terrorised the employees by brandishing weapons.

When the staff protested, the miscreants allegedly attacked them with sharp weapons and decamped with computers, gold jewelleries and cellphones of the employees.

Four employees of the finance firm, who were reportedly injured in the attack, have been admitted to a hospital.

Sunesh Pradhan, branch manager of the finance firm said, “The robbers demanded money but when we told them that there was no cash, they snatched keys of lockers and thoroughly searched the office. Later, they attacked us and looted six cellphones of four staff, two laptops, a gold ring and a mangal sutra.”

Based on the complaint of the finance firm staff, police have begun a probe in connection with the incident.
