If they fail to deposit the penalty amount, they would further have to bear additional imprisonment of six months.

Victim Tina Sethi worked in a hotel and was returning home when Vibhor and Janet Kumar rammed their bike into her scooty near Galleria market in DLF City.

She fell down and the two tried to snatch her purse.

Failing to get hold of the purse, they attacked Sethi with a knife.

Thanks to the timely help by passersby, the two were caught and handed over to the police.
