"The robbers had hid their faces with handkerchiefs and helmets. After finishing our work in Karol Bagh, we were on our way to Panipat. At the red light, when we stopped the vehicle, four men broke the window on the driver seat with a hammer and took the car key. All the four men had covered their faces with handkerchiefs and helmets. They threatened us with pistols and fled from the spot with our cash bag," said Arora.
