According to authorities, the incident occurred around 12.40 am, when the student was returning from Koramangala on his two-wheeler. He noticed three unknown men riding a motorcycle on a one-way street and flashed his bike lights at them. The trio reportedly began following him, news agency ANI reported.
Fearing for his safety, the student attempted to ride toward Rajiv Gandhi Circle but lost control and fell around 1 am. The suspects seized the opportunity to snatch his mobile phone and bike key, and allegedly demanded to know if he had any other valuables. They later transferred ₹11,000 from the student’s phone and fled with his two-wheeler.
