As he approached Gaushala Gate No. 2, two lads in an auto-rickshaw approached from behind and began arguing, demanding that he explain why he took extra money from Nepali passengers and accompany them to a local police station.
Out of fear, “he sat with them and after going some distance, the accused snatched his auto-rickshaw key and cash of Rs 1,620 and fled away from there,” the DCP said.
On the basis of his statement, a case was filed at the Kishangarh police station under sections 356, 379, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, and an inquiry was launched.
The accused were apprehended by a police unit who raided specific sites.
