The accused then called the others to the spot in a car. They forced him into the car and assaulted him. They also robbed him of Rs34,500, which the complainant’s father had given him to deposit as a home-loan instalment in a bank,” the officer said.The trio took the complainant to a locality in Bibvewadi and assaulted him again.
