“On Sunday, I was standing near Basti Jodhewal chowk with my Swift car (PB01A3519) when four men came to me and booked a ride to Sahnewal for ₹1,100,” he told the police.

He said they left from Ludhiana around 12pm and after 30 minutes, one of the accused asked him to stop the car saying that he was feeling sick.

“When I stopped the car near Jugiana flyover, one of them threw chilli powder in my eyes and pulled me to the back seat. They held my hands and legs and threatened me to remain quiet. They drove the car towards Doraha and stole ₹200 from my pocket along with my mobile. They later threw me out of the car near Khanna and fled away with the vehicle,” Surinder added.
