An interesting story was getting relayed about bank robbery case. Thugs subtly managed to rob banks vaults without the crime coming to the fore for a long time. This makes the story unique, unlike bang bang Joker, batman style bank robbery.

Long story short, robbery is unearth and brought to the notice of the bank manager and in turn to the police. Police springs into action, investigating the case but unfortunately does not make much progress. Unhappy about the pace of investigation, plaintiffs approach commissioner of the police. On hearing the plea, case is instantly transferred to crime branch of India.

Brain storming sessions are held regularly. Events are chalked out on the white boards and lines are drawn kissing various event boxes depicting various scenarios. What if, what if not, how, why and where are analyzed. Senior Inspector draws out plans and next course of action and assigns the task to each of him team members. This was indeed a complicated case, similar to a reverse engineering project where you have the code in front of you, but have no clue why it was written in a particular fashion.

Outcome of their analysis was, lockers of 11 diamond merchants were robbed. Pattern identified. Police then scrutinize entire list of people coming in and going out of locker rooms for the last 3 years. Based on pattern, they zero down on three probable suspects who frequently visited the bank and spent considerable time in the locker room.

Police starts gathering information of three suspects. In the event, police stumbles upon a person who identifies one of the suspect and informs the police that the person works as tailor in the neighborhood. On probing a little further, police also learns that the suspects' father was a locksmith.

It is also worthwhile to ponder on the planning of the thugs which was bang on. Thugs did a laudable market research along with requirement gathering to find out some of the names of diamond traders having common bank branch where they deposited their valuable. They then made a low level plan for execution. They succinctly bewitched all the stake holders' to pave way to their clandestine plan. Needless to say, this is a quintessential case of meticulous planning and brilliant execution, unfortunately in the criminal world where crime never pays.
