The trio was booked on the complaint of one Sham (37),who works in a cloth factory,and is currently recuperating at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital.
Police said Sham alleged that the three accused beat him up and thrust his face in an oven late on Wednesday night when he bought a quarter bottle of liquor from a vend. A brawl ensued between him and the accused,who snatched the bottle from him.
Mohkampura SHO Amrik Singh said that Sham also alleged that the accused snatched Rs 8,000 from him.
Till today evening,when police came to record statement,they were reluctant to act in the case, Harish,younger brother of Sham,said.
