“When I reached House Number 4446 in Block-E, Aerocity, three men on a bike came from the rear side and hit me with a sharp-edged weapon on my neck following which I lost my balance and fell on the road. I, however, managed to step aside at a distance from my vehicle following which the accused threatened me with a small sword. They fled with my scooter and a bag carrying a collection from the petrol pump of ₹5, 27, 720,” the victim told the police.
