Owner of the shop Satinder Kumar said he was a resident of Lotus Enclave, Dehlon Road. His shop, Satinder Book Depot, is located in front of Gurdwara Somasar Sahib, Tibba Gate. Along with it, he also runs a grocery and general store. The miscreants came to the shop on the pretext of buying cigarettes. They brandished a pistol and took away the cash bag containing Rs 1 lakh rupees and important documents.

The victim said he pleaded with miscreants to leave the scene but they did not listen. The robbers had covered their faces with clothes. After taking the money, they locked him inside the shop and fled.
