Tapa Majhi of Hatimunda village under Gunduri gram panchayat in Kalahandi district had withdrawn a sum of Rs 3 lakh from the Allahabad bank which was deposited in his name by the Government under the Ret Project rehabilitation scheme. He had lost his land in the land acquisition of the project near Chhatikuda. The miscreants barged into his house after reaching there on a hired commander jeep and looted the money by frightening the family with deadly weapons.

Meanwhile,the Sadar police arrested eight burglars on Monday and seized the commander jeep and Rs 40,000 from them.
