A vegetable vendor in Faridkot was robbed of Rs 2.15 lakh today evening by four unidentified men impersonating police officers. The incident occurred near Koharwala village, when the accused — dressed in police uniforms — intercepted the victim Kulwant Singh’s car.
Posing as part of a narcotics-search operation, the fake cops searched his vehicle and fled with the cash kept inside. Realising he had been duped, Singh chased the miscreants but failed to catch them.
