Youth relieved of Rs. 5 lakh by gang

Special Correspondent


He was pulled out of a bus

Later, he was pushed out of a vehicle


TAMBARAM: A four-member gang posing as policemen tricked a youth and robbed him of Rs. 5 lakh while he was travelling in a bus near Tambaram on Monday evening.

A. Mohammed, a native of Keelakkarai, Ramanathapuram district, was working in a shop run by a relative, Hyder Ali, also hailing from the same place. Mohammed told the police that Hyder Ali was planning to purchase a property in Keelakkarai and had given him Rs. 5 lakh cash to take it to their hometown.

On Monday, he had taken the sum and boarded a government bus in Koyambedu to reach Keelakkarai. At Tambaram, four men, looking like policemen in plainclothes tried to board the bus, but the conductor told them that the bus was packed to capacity.

However, the men told the conductor they were policemen, were in an emergency and did not mind travelling standing all the way. When the bus reached Guduvanchery around 8 p.m., one of the men asked the driver to stop the vehicle.When the bus stopped, the four men pushed down Mohammed and reportedly blindfolded him. They then pushed him into the vehicle and seized his bag.
