According to sources, one Iqbal Singh Gill from the Barewal Road, along with his son had gone to a private bank. While Gill was waiting in the car with the booty in his bag, his son went inside the bank to withdraw money. Sources said t the duo had to take the money to Jalandhar to make a business payment.

Sources said that a youth approached Gill and told him that his money was lying on the road. When Gill saw, he found a few currency notes in the denomination of 10 lying on the road.

Unmindful of the money lying in the car, he started collecting the money. After a while, he realised that the bag lying in the car was missing. Following this, he raised the alarm but the conman had given him the slip.
