2 pushed off cycle in Mehrauli, robbed
A resident of Rai Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh) was robbed of Rs 8,930 by three people in Mehrauli on Wednesday night. Raju -- who is a gardener at Sood Farm in Chandanhola -- was on a bicycle with his brother-in-law Mukesh Chand. The cash, which belonged to the farm-owner, was being brought from the owner's Maharani Bagh office and was to be distributed as salaries the next day. When the two reached Yogeshram Gate on Chandanhola Kharag Road, three youths in their 20s stopped them, pushed them off the cycle and forced them to hand over the money.
