How they foiled the robbery attempt
They were both sitting at the Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank entrance in Senduari Chowk of Sadar police station area when three men tried to enter, security camera footage of the incident showed.
When asked to show their documents, one of the men drew a pistol, but both Juhi and Shanti leapt to their feet and challenged them. “I asked if all three had work in the bank, and they said yes. I asked them to show the passbook and that’s when they pulled out a gun,” Juhi said as per NDTV.
