Three masked men came to the market in the Honda Activa scooter around 12 noon, according to CCTV camera footage.
“I sat inside when they entered.
One of them pointed at my gun.
The others held a knife.
They told me not to move.
But I immediately rushed to the door and began to shout,” Verma said.
One of them attacked him with a knife.
“I keep shouting and wrestling with them even when they hit me.
Realizing people can record the commotion, they run out,” Verma said, who called the police to inform the robbery efforts.
A police team rushed to place.
“The victim was received at a public hospital, sector 6.
No one was robbed from his shop.
I have appointed four teams to arrest the defendant,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mohit Handa.
