In a shocking incident, a 10-year-old boy entered a cooperative bank during peak hour and stole Rs 10 lakh in under 30 seconds in Madhya Pradesh's Neemuch district. The entire incident was captured in CCTV which shows, the kid dressed in rags, walked out of the cooperative bank along with Rs 10 lakh without any staff or customer having a cue.
The 'well' trained child entered into the bank at around 11 am and entered a cashier's cubicle and dropped in two wads of Rs 500 currency notes into a bag and moved out in under 30 seconds.
Suspicion of an alarm was raised when he reached the exit and began running. According to a report of a news agency, when Police scanned CCTV footage they discovered that the boy was being directed by a man in his 20s, who wandered on inside the bank for around 30 minutes.
As soon as he saw a cashier getting up from his seat and going into another room, he signaled the minor, who was standing outside.
"The minor was short, so people standing in front of the cash counter couldn't see him stealing the money," Neemuch SP Manoj Rai told media house. Forensic experts have investigated the crime scene.
"Several suspects have been detained. Some people who have roadside stalls in the area have been called in for questioning. The private security guard is also being interrogated," said Rai.

It is being believed by the Police that a gang conducted a recce of the bank for a few days and sent the minor to commit the crime.
The news agency reported that the gang used well-trained children, including girls, aged between 10 and 14 years for thefts. The children have excellent communication skills with fluency in English. The reason behind using kids is that they don’t disclose gang members’ details and get away by serving at juvenile homes.
