: Two men were allegedly robbed of cash worth Rs. 80 lakh at gunpoint in West Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh on Thursday.

The victims have been identified as Aman and Shubham, who were to deliver the money to their uncle, a rice trader based in Punjabi Bagh market.

When they approached a railway underpass in Shakurbasti around 10 a.m., they were intercepted by four men on two motorcycles, said the police. One of the motorcycles stopped beside them while the other blocked their way, forcing the victims to halt their scooty. The pillion rider on the motorcycle that stopped next to them allegedly pulled out a pistol and threatened to shoot if they did not hand over the bag containing the cash. Left with no option, the victims did not put up any resistance. The robbers then fled with the bag.
