Ali, an employee of Aditya Agro Foods Private Limited, became the victim of unidentified criminals outside the Punjab National Bank branch in Marwaripatty. The incident occurred on Thursday, prompting concerns about the security of financial transactions and the safety of individuals handling large sums of cash.
