When he reached Bore Bank Road, two men, who came on a two-wheeler, dashed against Pasha's motorcycle. As he fell, the two motorists and their two accomplices attacked him with a knife and snatched a bag containing the mobile phones from him.

On a complaint by Pasha, the J.C. Road police have registered a case.
