PNB locker case

NEW DELHI JULY 31 .An inquiry into the sensational `tampering' of about 16 lockers of the Punjab National Bank here continued today with the police questioning several people including officials of the bank even as the Finger Print Bureau (PFB) continued with its `mix-match' of imprints lifted with those of suspected people.

As some lockers have yet to be opened of the total number found `drilled', the extent of robbery has yet to be ascertained, said Additional DCP (South-West) Shalini Singh.

``The bank is still getting information from people over the loss incurred in the robbery. Only after the compilation by them has been completed we would be able to tell something specific on the extent of the robbery.''

More people have been interrogated and the exercise was continuing. No breakthrough has been reported till now, she added.

Meanwhile, the FPB which had lifted several finger prints from the `lockers section' of PNB's Naoroji Nagar branch yesterday also, besides those taken on Thursday last, has begun `examining' of the imprints with its databank for identification of criminals involvement.
