"It appears some miscreants attacked Mario with sharp-edged weapons and made away with his valuables," police inspector Somveer Singh said.

Mario, a devotee of Lord Krishna, reportedly reached Mathura a few days ago and took up a room at a lodge in Aurangabad. Police have detained some workers of the lodge.
