The lure of getting rich has landed a group of youth, which made vain bid to rob a bank, behind the bars in Chittoor. The youths reportedly told the police that they caught the fancy of making a quick buck after watching Yash-starrer KGF-2.
The police on Thursday nabbed eight people including six from Kolar in Karnataka, all aged between 20 and 27, on charges of attempting a robbery in the Vijalapuram branch of Sapthagiri Grameena Bank in Ramakuppam mandal of Kuppam revenue division on May 28 night. Two cars, two gas cylinders, a gas cutter, and some iron tools were seized from their possession.
One of the accused is a B.Com student, while another works as a system operator with an online firm in Bengaluru. Incidentally, seven youths, including one who is still absconding, hail from the villages near the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) in Karnataka, the police said.
