According to the complaint, Accused No.1 drove the vehicle used in the crime, and the petitioner, along with the other accused, intercepted the car of the complainant by overtaking and colliding with its front right side. They then allegedly incapacitated the driver by sprinkling chilli powder into his eyes and forcibly took a cash bag containing Rs.40,00,000/-.
