According to the police, the victim, Manoj Kumar, was returning home on the intervening night of October 11 and 12 when two miscreants stopped him near the Transport light point and hired the auto for Mullanpur.

On reaching the Sarangpur light point, the two passengers put a rope around the auto driver’s neck and started thrashing him. The miscreants then robbed the victim of his auto, cash and valuables.

A case was registered at the Sarangpur police station.
