The area from the bridge to the bus depot is always deserted. Thieves utilised the opportunity to rob Sanjay. Four unidentified miscreants approached Sanjay on two bikes near the bridge, which is exactly opposite Shramik Bhavan.
They first rammed their motorcycles into him and knocked Sanjay off his feet. Then one of them threw chilli powder into Sanjay’s eyes and made away with the cash,” Senior PI of Shivajinagar police station Pandharinath Patil said. “More was unable to tell the direction in which the four thieves fled, as the under construction Ganesh pandals in the area obstructed his view.
Inquiry is going on.” A few passers-by informed the control room about the incident following which officials from Shivjainagar police station were alerted. “Sanjay was sent for medical examination and a some amount of chilli powder is yet to removed from his eyes,” Patil said yesterday.u00a0
