The robber was following the victim right from Jammu and Kashmir Bank where from he had withdrawn the money and was in search of an opportunity to overpower the victim and snatch the money. When Vinod Wazir was filling the pay-in-slip at Punjab National Bank, the accused snatched the money contained in a bag.
