Two boys came to him and one of them asked for keys of the Car while the another threatened the complainant to shoot. They snatched keys of the car along with mobile of the complainant and ran away. His purse and five credit cards along with ATM of various banks were lying in the car, which was taken away by them.

The petitioner is in custody since 03.03.2017 and the trial is not making any headway due to Covid pandemic.
