NEW DELHI, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- A group of robbers dug a 7.6-meter long tunnel into a bank to the lockers in India's financial capital of Mumbai, local media reports said Tuesday.
The robbery is believed to have taken place at a branch of Bank of Baroda in the Juninagar area near Navi Mumbai early Sunday.
