PUNE: The Bhosari MIDC police on Saturday detained a person, and are searching for his two aides, on the charge of robbing a 21-year-old man of his cellphone and cash, collectively worth Rs 10,000, earlier in the afternoon at Sardar chowk on Spine Road.
Ashish Javle lodged an FIR. Sub-inspector R B Jadhav of the Bhosari MIDC police told TOI that on Saturday that Javle had gone to the Pimpri Chinchwad RTO for an exam to get a two-wheeler driving licence. “While walking back home after the exam, three men on a motorcycle stopped him at Sardar chowk and forced him to sit on the motorcycle,” Jadhav said.
He said the suspects then drove to a secluded spot and thrashed him. “They robbed him of his cellphone and a sum of Rs2,500,” Jadhav said.
