In a daring incident, masked robbers in a Tata Sumo tried to loot a power station in Jammu’s Meera Sahib area. The incident happened late Thursday night, around 2 a.m., when seven masked men arrived at the Talli Morh power station in a Tata Sumo. However, their plan was foiled when the station’s security guard called the police on time.
Robbers Fired at Police
As soon as the police arrived, the robbers fired at them and also threw stones. In response, the police fired back. Under pressure, the robbers abandoned the Tata Sumo and fled the scene.
Fortunately, no harm was caused to people or property during the incident. The police have seized the Tata Sumo left behind by the robbers.
