MBA student, friend robbed of valuables worth Rs 93,000

PUNE: An MBA student and his friend were robbed of their gold chains, cash and scooter, together valued at Rs 93,000, near Chandni Chowk on Thursday night.
A complaint has been lodged by Nisarg Patel (22) of Bavdhan with the Warje Malwadi police station.
Speaking to TOI, assistant police inspector S L Pandhare said that Patel is an MBA student from a city-based college.On Thursday, around 9.30 pm, he was going to Vedvihar complex on Paud road to drop his friend Dhruv Narola. "Near Chandni Chowk, two persons on a motorcycle waylaid them and started abusing them," Pandhare said.
The motorcycle rider started accusing Patel of not riding his scooter properly, saying that he could cause an accident. He told Patel to take him to his house, as he wanted to make a complaint against Patel. "Patel asked the person to follow him, but the person took charge of Patel's scooter, saying he would ride the scooter as Patel and his friend may flee the spot," Pandhare said.
Pandhare said that the suspect then forced Patel and Narola to sit on the scooter and told his accomplice to follow on motorcycle. "Instead of going towards Bavdhan, the suspect rode the scooter to the Katraj-Dehu Road bypass. He stopped on the service road of the highway and again threatened Patel and Narola," Pandhare said.
Pandhare said the duo then snatched Patel and Narola's gold chains, took their money and fled the scene with Patel's scooter.
"We have registered an offence under charges of robbery and have launched a search operation to trace the suspects," Pandhare said.
