Mumbai police arrested the two men who robbed a Dahisar branch of State Bank of India and shot dead an employee on Wednesday with the help of a slipper, which one of the robbers left behind while fleeing. Dharmendra Yadav, 21, planned the robbery seven months ago to pay off his father’s debt and watched several YouTube videos for the successful execution, said police. He roped in his cousin and they practised shooting in their native village in UP.

During the inquiry, police found out that Dharmendra wanted money fast to pay off his father’s debt of Rs 4.5 lakh. His father had taken out the loan several years ago for farming in their native village in Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh, an officer said.
