Ludhiana: The police on Thursday booked three miscreants three days after they robbed two cousins of Rs 1.47 lakh on Dhandari flyover.
The duo work as goods suppliers with a company.
Balkar Singh, 38, of Dhillon Colony said in his police complaint, “My cousin Goldy, 30, and I work with a company that supplies groceries to different districts. We collect groceries from near Pava village on GT Road. After supplying the commodities on August 3, we were on way home with a collection of Rs 1.47 lakh when a motorcycle intercepted our SUV on Dhandari flyover around 9.30pm. Three masked men were riding it. One of them hit our vehicle bonnet with a sword. Threatening to kill us with swords, they robbed us of the cash. We tried to fight back, but the trio overpowered us and escaped.”
Focal Point police station ASI Ajmer Singh said, “Balkar had called the police the same night. Later, he said that he would give a written complaint after talking to their employer. After that, they approached us on Thursday and a case was registered under Section 379-B (snatching) of the IPC.”
