₹20 Lakh Missing After Ghaziabad Cash Van Hijack on NH-9

Investigators are scrutinizing past employees and van staff after registering an FIR.

Overview

  • Three armed men seized an ATM cash van near Crossings Republik on NH-9 and escaped with about ₹20 lakh in cash.
  • Police later found the vehicle abandoned on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway near Kushaliya, roughly 15 kilometers from the robbery site.
  • Officers formed special teams, pulled CCTV and toll footage, and began forensic checks of the recovered van to track the route and suspects.
  • An FIR has been filed at the Crossings Republik police station, and officials say the roles of some current staff and former employees are under review.
  • The team had parked on the highway while servicing a nearby ATM, leaving the driver alone, which witnesses say allowed attackers—one firing a warning shot—to strike and likely switch to another getaway vehicle.
