Miscreants Set ATM On Fire In Keonjhar

Barbil: Unidentified miscreants set an ATM of State Bank of India on fire near OMC Square in Barbil of Keonjhar district late on Saturday.

The matter came to light after a person, who had gone to withdraw money from the ATM, noticed the machine completely burnt and alerted the police.
