A 19-year-old was looted by two women and a youth with whom he shared an auto-rickshaw ride from Anand Vihar railway station to Noida, the police said on Tuesday.
The incident happened in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar on January 1. Gautam boarded an auto-rickshaw that already had three passengers — the two women and the youth. All four decided to split the fare on reaching Noida. The trio overpowered Gautam near Mayur Vihar Phase-1. They snatched his bag, Rs.2,000 in cash and ATM card before pushing him out of the vehicle, the police said. A case has been registered and the police are trying to identify the accused.
