When passersby started gathering, traffic cleared a little and the accused drove to the side of the road, got out of the car and fled. They took my bag away, which contained Rs 3,700 in cash, my mobile phone, lunch box and some valuable documents. I was tired and injured and went home. I approached police the next day,” Hooda told police in his complaint.An FIR was registered against the four accused, who haven’t been identified yet, under sections 379B (snatching by use of force) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC at Udyog Vihar police station on Wednesday. “We have recovered the car, which is registered in the name of an Alwar resident, Sayyad.
