A lone night beat constable valiantly fought off a six-member gang who were attempting to loot a bank ATM in Krishna district in the wee hours of Monday.
The gang had arrived at the ATM in an auto-rickshaw armed with hacksaws, screwdrivers, hammers and other tools. They were attempting to break open the machine to loot the money when Manindar, who was on his night patrol, saw them. As he went to accost them, the gang members reportedly attacked him and began to flee.
Manindar chased the robbers and managed to catch hold of one, but the robber bit Manindar hard and escaped, Gannavaram Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) R. Vijay Paul said.
