They Hyderabad police have arrested a suspect seen on CCTV robbing a woman of her valuables inside an ATM.


On Wednesday, a woman was robbed of her gold jewellery, cellphone and ATM card by the as yet unidentified person after he terrorised her by firing inside an ATM in Yosufguda area on Wednesday morning in Hyderabad.


The incident occurred at around 7.45 am when Lalitha, 25, a private firm employee staying at a hostel in Madhura Nagar, went to the ATM to withdraw money, they said.


"The armed man had covered his face with a kerchief. When the woman entered the ATM centre, he suddenly came from behind and demanded her to give the valuables. When she refused, he fired on the wall and after terrorising her took away her gold chain and earrings (weighing around 20 grams)," S R Nagar Police Station Inspector G V Ramana Goud told PTI.


The accused also snatched her ATM card before fleeing. He also attempted to withdraw money from the ATM, but failed to do so due to some technical problem, he said.


The police nabbed the man on the basis of the CCTV footage. The suspect is believed to be a repeat offender and apparently used a country-made weapon for firing.
