Police have arrested three people for allegedly robbing a passenger in an auto-rickshaw after offering a lift, officials said on Thursday. The incident occurred on the night of April 10, when the victim was waiting for an auto-rickshaw outside the IFSC building in Sector 66, Gurugram. An auto-rickshaw with a woman and a man already seated reached the complainant's location and took him in the vehicle. On the way, the auto-rickshaw driver drove the vehicle to a secluded area behind the BSF camp, Bhondsi. The two people seated in the vehicle and the driver assaulted the victim and threatened to kill him with a knife and robbed him of jewellery, cash, and wallet, police said. Following this, the victim filed a complaint and an FIR was registered at the Bhondsi police station. While investigating, the team of the crime branch, Sohna, arrested three accused, identified as Irfan, Sohail and Ruksana. ''During interrogation, the accused revealed that, taking advantage of the complainant's intoxication, they were driven by greed and committed the crime. Further investigation is underway'', said the spokesperson of Gurugram police.
