In 1987, Labh Singh (Sukhdev Singh Sukha) allegedly masterminded[7] what was at that time the largest bank robbery in Indian history, netting almost 60 million (58 million rupees-US$4.5 million) from Millar Ganj branch of Punjab National Bank, Ludhiana;[7] a part of this stolen money belonged to the Reserve Bank of India, India's central bank.[8][9] It was documented as "Biggest Bank Robbery" under "Curiosities and wonders" in Limca Book of Records.[10][11][12]
