Three men, who were allegedly armed, on Wednesday snatched some cash, clothes and the cell phone of a Kashmiri resident at Premgarh village near Sohana.

The police said that they had registered a case and launched an investigation.

The complainant in the case, Bashir Ahmed Sheikh, has stated to the police that he used to go to the villages to sell woollen clothes.

On Wednesday, at around 3 pm, while he was on his way to Dairi village, three men had stopped him and forcibly taken him to a secluded place at knifepoint.

“They took my clothes, Rs 2000 in cash and my cell phone. I later raised the alarm and the men fled from the spot after abandoning me there. I could not note down the registration number of the bike which was used by the criminals to flee,” the complainant added.
