Ahmedabad: Man robbed by autorickshaw gang

AHMEDABAD: Nitin Brahmbhatt, 63, of Navrangpura, lodged a complaint at Airport police station on Friday alleging that on his way home from his workplace, an auto driver and his accomplices staged a fight among themselves, and in the confusion stole his wallet and gold chain worth over Rs 1 lakh.
Brahmbhatt stated he works in a private company in Sabarkantha and commutes daily from Navrangpura.
“On Thursday evening, while he was returning from his job and waiting for the AMTS bus at Nana Chiloda , an auto came there. Brahmbhatt boarded the auto to go home. On the way, other passengers sitting in the auto started fighting with the auto driver over making a fourth passenger sit in the auto,” said a police official.
The auto driver stopped his auto near Kotarpur waterworks and asked him to get down of the auto as the other passengers were fighting. “The auto driver dropped him near a bus stand and did not even wait to take the fare. When Brahmbhatt checked he found that his wallet and gold chain were missing. We are probing the incident,” said an inspector of Airport police station.
