On January 7 at around 3.10pm, 30-year-old mason Mallikarjuna was on 5th Main in Sector 7.
The thieves used a Bajaj Pulsar to rob the victim
After having withdrawn Rs 50,000 from Canara Bank on 5th Main in Sector 7, he was about to ride away when a person threw some Rs 10 notes and asked if those were his.
With his moneybag in his bike’s box, he bent down to pick six notes when two bike-borne thieves came from the other side and made away with his bag. Both wore helmets, making the exercise of identifying them through the five CCTVs in the vicinity an almost-futile exercise, unless they are known offenders. Mallikarjuna had withdrawn the money to pay his labourers when the theft occurred. The HSR cops have registered a case of theft and are investigating.
