Panchkula, 3 March — An e-rickshaw driver and his accomplice allegedly robbed a woman of her gold jewelry and ₹7,000 in cash before abandoning her in a secluded area near IT Park, Sector 22, Panchkula, on Saturday evening.
The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. when Raesha Begum, a Dehradun resident, was traveling from Chandigarh Railway Station to her daughter’s house in Sector 24, Panchkula.
She boarded the e-rickshaw around 4 p.m. with five other passengers, but as the journey progressed, all except one accomplice got off.
Instead of heading to her destination, the driver took a detour to an isolated spot.
“They snatched my earrings, a 15-gm nose ring, and cash before pushing me out of the vehicle,” she stated in her complaint at Chandimandir police station.
Raesha could not note the rickshaw’s registration number but said she could identify the culprits. Police have registered an FIR under Section 304(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 and are reviewing CCTV footage to trace the accused.
