The robbery occurred around 6 PM at the roadways bus stand while Shambhuram was buying goods. The victim mentioned the two boys were observing him as he took out money. They followed him and, near Dr. Babulal’s house, stopped him and demanded money. When Shambhuram refused, they assaulted him. One of the robbers held his hand while the other took INR 51,500 (USD 616.58), his ATM card, Aadhar card, license, and other documents from his pocket before fleeing.
