In another incident at Sadduguntepalya, thieves broke open the locks of the shutter of Madhuloka, a liquor outlet on the ring road in BTM Layout, and fled with Rs 5 lakh in cash.
The theft came to light on Monday after the owner went to the store. He had kept the cash in the locker as the banks were closed on Saturday and Sunday, the police said.
