A group of men, wearing helmets and armed with pistols, allegedly took off with ₹37 lakh from a Flipkart dispatch centre in Jhilmil Industrial Area late yesterday after injuring a security guard.
The incident happened at around 8.30 pm on Sunday. Three to four men barged into the office and held six employees hostage, police said.
Police were informed about the incident at around 9 pm. A team reached the spot where Ramu Kushwaha, a cashier, said the robbers took away ₹37 lakh at gunpoint.
The cash was kept at the office as Sunday and Monday were holidays and was to be deposited in the bank Monday.
Naveen, a security guard, tried to raise an alarm about the attack, but was hit with the butt of a gun and left bleeding, the staff members said.
Before leaving the office, they also took away hard disk of CCTV cameras to avoid identification.
Police said that they would scan footage of CCTV cameras installed in the area to identify the accused. They are also questioning the employees and have asked the management to share details of former employees who might be aware of the days when the cash is kept at the dispatch centre.
The company representatives remained unavailable for comment.
