They were demanding ₹10,000 for a minor scratch on their Skoda car. Although, I offered to get it repaired but they tried to snatch my bag,” she said.

The victim called the police control room, following which policemen from Sector 29 intervened and resolved the issue, asking her to get the car repaired.

Karan Goel, assistant commissioner of police (DLF), said that they are investigating the case and have taken the call detail records of the suspects. “We are yet to arrest the suspects,” he said.
