The man was identified as Mohsin Khan, a resident of Noida sector 75 and an entrepreneur. He said he was on his way home from Rajasthan when the incident happened.

“It was around 9.45 pm. I had just taken the exit from Yamuna expressway and was on the Noida-Greater Noida expressway near sector 135 when I got a call. I parked my car on the side and attended it. Merely three to four minutes later, three masked men surrounded my vehicle. The one close to the driver seat pointed a gun at me and motioned me to get out,” said Khan.

He alleged that he was manhandled and robbed of his cash.

“They took out the SIM from my phone and returned the handset and laptop before fleeing with my car. I tried to get help from other passersby but no one stopped. I had an old SIM in my wallet and used it to call the police helpline after which a police team came to the spot,” he said.

Based on his complaint, a case of robbery (section 392 of the Indian Penal Code) was registered at the Expressway police station against the three unidentified suspects.

“A probe in the matter is underway. There are cameras on the stretch and we are going through the CCTV footage to identify and trace the suspects. The trio returned all traceable gadgets to the victim but we are working to nab them,” said Yogesh Malik, station house officer, Expressway police station.
