The cashier was going to deposit the money to a nearby bank in a car, when the gang members who came in another car blocked his vehicle. They snatched the bag containing the money at gun-point and fled, police said.
On being informed, police and villagers blocked the roads and chased them in their vehicles.
A gang member then fired two rounds from his gun at a group of villagers who blocked their car. The gang tried to speed away but their car overturned some 15 kms from where the robbery took place, police said.
