In a brazen robbery, a woman had Rs 3 lakh in cash snatched away from her by two motorbike-riding thieves after she withdrew the money from her bank in Mawsmai, Ri-Bhoi, today afternoon.
The woman, identified as Mangla Rani Nath, had just emerged from the State Bank of India branch from which she had withdrawn the large amount of money when two unidentified thieves accosted her.
Nath attempted to fight them off but she was pushed to the ground and was left bleeding profusely from a wound to her leg and hands.
The pair of robbers then fled on their motorbike, which according to witnesses, bore no licence plate.
A case has been filed with the Jorabat police in this regard.
