The robbers, armed with country-made pistols and knives, entered the office located in C-2 block around 2am by cutting through window grills, according to the guards who were instantly overpowered. While seven to eight men were inside, a few kept watch outside.
The men targeted DJB's cash chest but were unable to break it open. The angered robbers then assaulted the two guards, who have sustained head injuries, and snatched around Rs 11,000 from them. Next, they cut open a cash box belonging to Corporation Bank and left with the money.
The police received a call around 6.35am after the guards managed to free themselves and sought help from passersby. The guards, Ashok Kumar and Manjeet Singh, were taken to hospital. Police said while one of them was the guard of the nearby Corporation Bank, the other was deputed by the Delhi Jal Board.
Police said they were in the process of ascertaining how much money the robbers took away. They added that DJB's main money chest, which had a huge amount of cash, could not be opened.
Cops suspect insider
Crime and fingerprints experts were called in to collect evidence from the spot. The cops are using electronic surveillance and criminal intelligence to get to the accused.
Police suspect an insider could have tipped off the robbers who seem to have conducted reccees of the place before striking. "Going by the number of assailants, we suspect it was a gang from outside Delhi, probably Mewat. But we suspect a local help as the location of the office is such that outsiders would not generally target it," a police officer said.
A case of armed robbery and assault has been lodged at Janakpuri police station and CCTV footages are being analyzed from the spot and nearby areas to establish the identity of the accused.
Delhi Jal Board CEO, Debashree Mukherjee, said, "We are looking at what measures can be put in place to move cash faster from our offices to the bank."
