Transporter robbed of Rs 5,000 at knife point
Dera Bassi, May 24 In a complaint to the police, Satyavir said he took a lift in their vehicle. Instead of taking the railway over bridge (RoB) to go to Chandigarh, they drove the vehicle on a side lane of the highway. After reaching underneath the RoB, one of the occupants took out a knife and put it on his temple. He told him to handover cash and other valuables, the complainant alleged. They snatched Rs 5,000 from me and warned me of dire consequences. I somehow managed to escape from their clutches and reached Bhankharpur, said Satyavir. Atul Soni, station house officer of Dera Bassi, said a case had been registered against the youths on the complaint of Satyavir. The police have initiated investigations in this regard. The police have launched a manhunt to nab the suspects. “The victim is operating a transport company from Bhankharpur. He was returning to his home in Bhankharpur from Delhi yesterday night when he fell in the trap of the youths,” the SHO said. |
