Bengaluru man assaulted, robbed of ₹24,000 near Nayandahalli
Bengaluru: A 29-year-old assistant manager at a healthcare company was assaulted and robbed of ₹24,000 while walking home from the Nayandahalli Metro station recently. The incident took place on Outer Ring Road, where two unidentified men attacked him and forced him to transfer money from his account.
The victim, Varun C, had traveled from Indiranagar to Nayandahalli late at night and was walking home when two men in an auto-rickshaw approached him, asking if he was unwell. Sensing something suspicious, Varun attempted to move away, but the men got off the auto, chased him, and stopped him forcefully. They verbally abused him and, upon his resistance, punched him in the face, causing injuries to his nose and eyes.
Under the threat of further assault, the attackers forced Varun to unlock his phone and provide PINs for his digital payment apps. They then used a QR code scan to transfer ₹24,000 from his account. Despite his injuries, Varun called for help, but passersby did not intervene. The attackers also threatened him before leaving.
Once the miscreants fled, Varun managed to reach Veerabhadra Nagar signal and called his father, who rushed him to a private hospital. He underwent surgery for a facial fracture and is reported to be out of danger, though he could not note down the auto-rickshaw’s registration number due to his injuries.
A robbery case has been registered at Byatarayanapura Police Station, and an investigation is underway.
