A 64-year-old passenger of a Pune-Mumbai state transport bus was allegedly drugged and robbed of his valuables on Tuesday night.
Anwar Alla Rakha Shaikh, a resident of Nagpada, was returning to Mumbai on Tuesday from a visit to his wife and sons in Pune.
According to the Nagpada police, he boarded a bus at Swargate, Pune, and was offered chocolates allegedly laced with sedatives near Lonavla by a co-passenger. He soon lost consciousness. When he came to, he found his gold chain and ring missing. A still dizzy Shaikh got off at the Mumbai Central state transport, and seconds later, he fainted. A passer-by called the police control room, following which the Nagpada police took him to JJ Hospital.
Another passer-by and Shaikh&rsquo;s acquaintance saw him being taken away and informed his relatives.
Shaikh&rsquo;s condition worsened early today, following which his brother, Akhtar Shaikh, shifted him to Noor Hospital. He is currently in the hospital&rsquo;s ICU. "He regained consciousness for a bit, but I couldn&rsquo;t speak with him," said Akhtar.
Nagpada police are waiting for Shaikh to regain consciousness to throw light on the sequence of events and file a case of poisoning and robbery.
