According to the victim, the individual in a cream-coloured jacket was armed with a punch-type iron object, while the other two carried knives. The attackers stopped him, forced him off his bicycle, and physically restrained him. The one with the punch-type weapon then snatched Singh’s wallet, which contained ₹2,500, from his pocket.
Before fleeing the scene, the trio issued a death threat to Singh if he made any noise. The police have initiated an investigation into the matter and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to trace the suspects.
