A security guard, identified as Saddam Khan, who was deployed at the bank on security duty is believed to be the prime suspect in the case. The bank’s staff revealed that Saddam, who hailed from Swat, had been posted at the bank for the past four days. “He was deployed at the bank for security duty in the day shift,” explained the bank manager, Abdullah. It was not safe enough to keep the jewellery at our house, which is why we kept it in the bank locker,” explained Nasir Zia, another locker holder. Police officials said that the robbers tied up the night shift security guard and he was released when the bank was opened on Monday morning.
