Thieves took away Rs. 2 lakhs from a person when he went to deposit the money in ICICI Khairatabad branch on Monday. T. Satyanarayana (33), who was working as a supervisor with a businessman, M.V. Subbaraju, went to the bank on the latter's instruction. When the bank staff told him that he couldn't deposit more than Rs.50,000 in another person's account, Satyanarayana came out of the bank.

He hanged the polythene cover containing the cash to the scooter's hook. As the vehicle did not start, he bent down to see if the fuel switch was turned off. Meanwhile, the thief took away the cash bag.
