Police sources said that two unidentified armed dacoits felled a tree on the road, obstructed the Tata Sumo and threatened the inmates with their weapons and decamped with the gold ornaments.

Car stopped

Later, they stopped a car and snatched away gold and cash worth Rs 40,000 from the inmates. When the duo tried to attack the RTC bus, which was passing on the route, the crew and passengers raised an alarm. Sensing trouble, the dacoits escaped.
