After a visit to the crime scene, Crime Investigation Department SSP Haider Raza told media persons that it seemed that the robbery had been planned and the perpetrators were aware that repair work was in progress at the bank in question. They also knew that only one security guard was deputed at the bank and he routinely took a break to have dinner, said the SSP.
