Veeresh Adakihal, a fruit merchant, was robbed of a gold chain worth Rs. 5,000 and a cellphone near an Army officers' colony on Airport Road.

The police said two persons stopped Adakihal and sought help in locating an address. When he was giving directions, the two persons threatened Adakihal and robbed him. The Ulsoor police have registered a case.
