Bhopal: Student Loses Money in Online Gaming, Attempts Bank Robbery


Bhopal – A third-year BAMS student attempted to rob Dhanlaxmi Bank in the Piplani area of Bhopal after losing ₹2 lakh in online gaming.
The accused, identified as Sanjay Kumar Malviya, was arrested within four hours of the incident on Friday, January 3.
The Robbery Attempt
The incident took place around 4 PM when Sanjay, wearing a helmet and mask, entered the bank under the pretense of opening an account. Shortly after entering, he pulled out a pepper spray and attacked the bank staff in an attempt to intimidate them.
Despite experiencing eye irritation, the staff raised an alarm and tried to apprehend him, forcing the suspect to flee.
Police Action and Arrest
Acting swiftly, the police analyzed footage from 50 CCTV cameras in and around the bank. Sanjay was tracked down to his rented house in Ayodhya Nagar and arrested within four hours.
Authorities recovered an air pistol, several motorcycle number plates, and other suspicious items from his possession.
Revealed Motive
During interrogation, Sanjay confessed to being addicted to online gaming, which had caused him to lose around ₹2 lakh. He had also incurred debts, including borrowing money from friends and using his education fees to gamble. Desperate to repay the debts, he hatched a plan to rob the bank.
Earlier Reconnaissance
Bank officials disclosed that Sanjay had visited the bank earlier in the day under the guise of opening an account. He presented a rent agreement as address proof, which the bank rejected. This reconnaissance visit gave him an opportunity to plan his robbery attempt.
Failed Plan
When Sanjay returned in the evening, he was equipped with pepper spray and wore a helmet to conceal his identity. However, his attempt to subdue the staff failed, and his actions were recorded on the bank’s CCTV cameras.
Police Statement
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sanjay Agarwal said the accused was a habitual gamer who had lost a significant amount of money online. To repay his debts, he attempted to rob the bank.
Public Safety and Investigations
The police are now investigating whether Sanjay conducted reconnaissance at other banks and are examining his involvement in similar incidents. His actions have raised concerns about the impact of online gaming addiction and its potential to lead to criminal behavior.
This incident highlights the growing need for awareness around online gaming addiction and the importance of timely intervention to prevent such extreme actions.
