The duo is being praised widely as it took less than a second and not a moment's hesitation for the two women police constables guarding a bank in Bihar's Hajipur to decide they would have none of it when three armed robbers tried to force their way into a bank.

How they foiled the robbery attempt

They were both sitting at the Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank entrance in Senduari Chowk of Sadar police station area when three men tried to enter, security camera footage of the incident showed.

When asked to show their documents, one of the men drew a pistol, but both Juhi and Shanti leapt to their feet and challenged them. "I asked if all three had work in the bank, and they said yes. I asked them to show the passbook and that's when they pulled out a gun," Juhi said as per NDTV.

The brave police challenged the trio and a struggle ensued as the criminals tried to snatch the rifles of the female cops, but the latter succeeded in fighting them off. Eventually, the robbers decided to run away.

Sharing the footage on Twitter, Bihar Police tweeted, "The gallant act of two lady constables of Bihar Police is laudable. Their bravery thwarted an attempt of bank robbery in Vaishali."
