However, prompt action by an alert security guard of the ATM, averted the robbery. The police registered an FIR after verifying the claims made by the guard. According to security guard Ramashankar Tripathi, two cashiers were refilling cash at an ATM centre near Pali Naka, Bandra, when a man approached him with a knife. "The man asked me not to move. But, I immediately pushed him aside and got hold of my gun. Before I could point the gun at him, he fled the spot," he said.
