Mangalore, Aug 20: A security guard was hoodwinked into parting with Rs 18,000 in cash by two con men, that too inside a bank.
Sirinjilal (48) from Bihar, working as security guard at a building in Chilimbi here had been to SBI Bank branch at Lalbagh for money transfer when the incident took place.
Sirinjilal went to the bank in order to send money to his family. As he did not know to fill the bank slip, he sought other people's help and two unknown persons came forward to fill the slip for him.
Trusting them, the guard gave them the money and the two persons filled the bank challan. After filling the slip, the thieves handed over the slip and a bundle of notes wrapped in a paper and then they left the place.
However, while depositing the money at the counter, the security guard found that the bundle did not have the money, instead there were pieces of paper in the shape and colour of currency notes!
A case has been registered in Barke police station. Efforts are on to catch the con men.
