Patna: In the midst of increasing security for President Ram Nath Kovind, unknown criminals revoked the HDFC Bank ATM from his kiosk and fled after containing it in the SUV from Ishopur Village under the police region Phulwarisharif on Thursday.
The automatic teller machine has Rs 20 Lakh in the time which criminals loot it.
The police source said the money was published in the ATM around 3pm on Wednesday and looted less than 12 hours.

to 1.30 in the morning.
The police said four villains with a closed face can be seen in reserves of CCTV cameras, binding machines with a heavy strap and then pulling out and removing them with the help of SUVs.
They said it as the latest ATM which was small and fixed with the floor using a narrow screw.
Surprisingly, at least two additional police (SAP) Jawan armed with rifles at night hardly a few meters from the same kiosk that did nothing to stop the criminals.
“If they even fired one or two rounds in the air, criminals would escape leaving everything.
Even the owner of the house, where the kiosk was, woke up and raised the alarm,” said a senior police officer.
Phulwaririsharif Police Kompol Rafique-ur-Rahman said there were two ATM kiosks at a distance of 200 meters in place.
“Jawan is deployed there every night because the area is theft and crime.
Their assignments are also to keep the two kiosks.
