The victim, Ajith arrived in Mumbai on Friday and reached Hubballi the next day. He had planned to take a bus to Gadag on Saturday night.

with no bus in sight, Ajith finally boarded a car which had other passengers and presumed it was a cab. It was only later that he realised that he had been tricked by the gang of robbers.

The miscreants assaulted Ajith and snatched away valuables from him.
