Bangalore: A businessman was robbed of Rs. 16 lakh that he had drawn from a bank on Dinnur Main Road in R.T. Nagar police station limits on Friday.

The police said that Nageshwara Rao, a wholesale liquor merchant, withdrew the sum from ING Vysya Bank.

He got into his car and was driving towards Shivajinagar when an autorickshaw driver signalled and told him that one of the rear tyres had a puncture.

Nageshwara Rao, who parked the car by the side of the road and got down to check, found that there was no puncture.

Two persons on a motorcycle used this opportunity to take away the money that was in the car. A case has been registered.
