In October 2014, an ordinary Monday morning in the small Indian city of Gohana turned into one of the most shocking moments in banking history. Employees of the Punjab National Bank arrived at work, expecting a normal day. Papers, files, and desks were all in their usual place. But when the branch manager unlocked the strongroom, what he saw left him frozen in disbelief.

Inside the vault, dozens of lockers stood wide open. Jewelry, cash, documents – gone without a trace. And in the middle of the floor, a massive hole led down into an underground tunnel.

This was no ordinary robbery. For 40 nights, a group of men worked in silence, digging a 125-foot tunnel from a rented house to the heart of the bank. Armed not with high-tech equipment, but with shovels, iron rods, and lanterns, they executed one of the most daring low-tech heists in history.

In this episode, we unravel the mystery of the Gohana tunnel bank robbery – how it was planned, how it was executed, and why it remains one of India’s most astonishing crimes. But the story doesn’t stop there. We’ll also dive into two other legendary heists that shocked the world:

• The 1971 Baker Street Robbery in London – where thieves tunneled into a Lloyds Bank vault, stealing from over 275 safety deposit boxes. The crime became known as the “Walkie-Talkie Robbery” because of a random radio operator who overheard the thieves’ chatter.

• The 2003 Antwerp Diamond Heist in Belgium – famously called “The Heist of the Century.” Despite motion sensors, CCTV cameras, magnetic fields, and heat detectors, a team of masterminds found a way to outsmart every layer of security and steal diamonds worth hundreds of millions.

Across these stories, a theme emerges: sometimes patience, planning, and human intelligence can defeat even the most advanced security systems.

• How the Gohana robbers managed to dig a tunnel for 40 nights without being caught.

• The clever tricks they used to avoid suspicion from neighbors and bypass alarms.

• The emotional aftermath for victims who lost family treasures and lifetime savings.

• Why the Baker Street robbery in London remains one of Britain’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

• How the Antwerp gang studied high-tech sensors and developed genius methods to fool them.

• The surprising similarities and differences between low-tech Indian robbers and high-tech European thieves.

• What these heists teach us about human psychology, risk-taking, and the limits of security systems.

This isn’t just a story of theft. It’s a story of genius planning, extraordinary patience, and the thin line between crime and cinema. At times, it feels like the plot of a Bollywood or Hollywood thriller – yet everything you’ll hear is 100% real.

So settle in. You’re about to journey through three of the most unbelievable bank robberies in history – from the dusty streets of Haryana to the underground tunnels of London, and finally, to the diamond vaults of Belgium.

Prepare to be amazed, shocked, and left questioning:
👉 How could something like this even be possible?
👉 Who was the true mastermind behind these robberies?
👉 And most importantly – could it happen again?
