Rourkela: Two masked miscreants looted more than Rs 14 lakh from an employee of a liquor shop in Odisha’s Rourkela city on Monday.
According to sources, the incident took place when the employee, Prashant Biswal, was going on a Scooty with Rs 14,93,400 given to him by the shop owner from Koel Nagar to his office at Uditnagar at around 8 am.
