Hyderabad – A former Wipro employee robbed a bank with a toy gun, and a fake bomb on Monday in order to manage his family expenses and children’s school fees.

45-years-old accused David Praveen – former employee of Wipro – entered Karur Vysya Bank on Monday around 3:30 pm at Manikonda branch wearing a Burkha and a fake bomb around his waist. He pulled out a toy gun and threatened the cashier to shoot him if he doesn’t give money.
