As per reports, the miscreants came on a Pulsar and intercepted one Sanjay Kumar Swain while he was returning with the cash from Cuttack.

“Usually I go to Cuttack at around 9:30 am every day to deposit the collection money in the bank. Today, when I was on my wat to the bank, three miscreants came on a Pulsar and one of them tried to attack me with a sharp weapon. Later they snatched away the cash from me,” said Swain.
