Unidentified persons broke open two SBI ATMs at Durshed and Thimmapur on the outskirts of Karimnagar on the night of September 19-20, 2026, and escaped with cash. Police said the suspects used gas cutters and one was disguised in women's attire. The exact amount stolen from Thimmapur is not yet known, but police confirmed that Rs 8 lakh was taken from the Durshed ATM.
The Hindu reports that three masked robbers struck the Durshed ATM around 3.30 am, damaged CCTV cameras, and fled in a four-wheeler. The burglar alarm at the bank's central control room in Delhi was triggered, alerting officials. At Thimmapur, two miscreants spray painted the CCTV camera. Siasat.com adds that the vehicle used in the crime is registered in Maharashtra, and police suspect the involvement of a robbery gang from that state. Telangana Today says CLUES teams have been pressed and CCTV footage is being scanned.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same facts with no discernible slant, sticking to police statements and confirmed details such as the Rs 8 lakh figure from Durshed and the use of gas cutters. The uniform coverage means readers can trust the core facts. What remains unclear is the exact amount from Thimmapur and whether the same gang is responsible for an unsolved robbery in Yellareddypet. Police teams are analysing CCTV and toll plaza data to track the Maharashtra-registered vehicle.
