The youths, who came on motorcycles, allegedly beaten him brutally and snatched Rs 12,000 from his purse, some important documents, his mobile phone and Rs 50,000 (collection amount). He lodged a police complaint, following which a case was registered against the six unidentified youths under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
