Gurugram, August 30

Three miscreants fled after robbing an autorickshaw driver of his mobile phone, cash and his vehicle after assaulting him in the Sector 56 area. The accused had hired the autorickshaw to travel to Gwal Pahari on Faridabad Road and, en route, robbed the driver after stopping him at a deserted location. An FIR was registered at the Sector 56 police station.

According to the complaint filed by Shiv Pratap, a native of Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh, around 2.30 am on Thursday, three youths approached him and requested a ride to Gwal Pahari. They agreed on a fare of Rs 250 and got into the autorickshaw. A few meters down Faridabad Road, they asked him to stop.

“One of them first snatched my autorickshaw’s keys, another took my mobile phone and wallet containing ATM cards, a PAN card and Rs 3,000 in cash. They then pushed me out and fled with my autorickshaw. All three accused were wearing shorts,” the driver stated in his complaint.

Following the complaint, an FIR was registered against the accused under Sections 304 and 3(5) of the BNS.
