Three persons were on Sunday arrested for allegedly roughing up and robbing an Indian Air Force corporal in south-east Delhi's Sangam Vihar this past week, said the police.

On April 20, Sujay Sikandar, a corporal posted at Tughlakabad, was assaulted and robbed by a group of men after his motorcycle brushed their car. In his complaint, he told the police that on the day of the incident, his motorcycle had brushed a car after which the vehicle overtook and stopped him on the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road near Batra Hospital.

Two persons came out of the car and started assaulting him and his colleague, he told the police. He added that in the meantime, another car also pulled up and its driver got into an argument over the road getting blocked.
