In a significant update, Bengaluru police arrested ex-CMS staffer Xavier and constable Annappa for allegedly orchestrating the INR 7 crore ATM van heist by leaking cash routes and providing ground support to a Chittoor-based gang. According to the FIR, Xavier shared detailed cash-movement information while Annappa supplied real-time inputs and tracked the operation from a distance, remaining away during the robbery itself. The gang, posing as RBI officials, overpowered custodians and seized INR 7.11 crore from a CMS cash-refill vehicle on the Dairy Circle flyover, also taking the truck’s DVR and staff phones.
