Investigation into the brazen robbery at the Bank of Baroda's (BoB) Juinagar branch a year ago has revealed several lapses on its part. In Nov 2017, burglars had dug a tunnel into the locker room of BOB's Juinagar branch through a nearby shop and taken cash and jewellery from 30 lockers.

Tushar Doshi, deputy commissioner of police, crime branch, said, "The theft could have been averted if a guard was present at the bank's ATM 24x7. Investigations have revealed that the bank did not follow several RBI guidelines. The wall of the room where the lockers were kept is not more than five inches thick. Due to lack of security, the thieves managed to reach the room easily, as the locker room is just behind the ATM.
