“W

hat I remember is that an autorickshaw driver pointed towards the bonnet of my car, saying there had been some sparks.

Then two unidentified people who identified themselves as mechanics came to me. They spoke with me, I don’t remember what they said. They asked me for Rs.10,755. Then they took me to the ATM where I withdrew

the money and gave it to them. I don’t know why I did that,” says Virendra Verma who had this peculiar experience on the Eastern Express Highway between Thane and Mulund last Thursday morning. Verma (40) is working as an account director with a reputed company and he thinks he was hynotised and cheated by strange men on his way to office which is actually in Parel. He insists the effects were so strong that they lasted at least 20 minutes. At one point he says he told the men, “Bhai, aap muze ch---ya to nahi bana rahe ho?” (Brother, are you not making a fool out of me?)

n a bizarre incident, conmen used an online classified site, OLX.com, to approach a seller and rob his high-end mobile phone, but after only thrashing him. The incident took place on Tuesday night at Tilak Nagar in Chembur, when 20-yearold Sandeep Jadhav was approached by a person who wanted to purchase his mobile phone. Jadhav, a student and an active social worker, had placed an advertisement for selling his Samsung Grand mobile for Rs.12,000.

Seeing the advertisement on the classified website, a person contacted Jadhav and told him that he was interested but would like to see the handset first. Jadhav, a resident of Sangharsh Nagar at Chandivali in Andheri, was called to Tilak Nagar by the buyer who told him he would not be able to come all the way to Andheri. Jadhav agreed and decided to meet the buyer at 10 pm below the Chembur skywalk leading towards Chembur railway station. While Jadhav was accompanied by his friend, the buyer reached

the spot along with three other persons. “The four thrashed Jadhav and his friend black-andblue and fled away with his mobile phone,” said Laxman Bhalerao, senior inspector of Tilak Nagar police station. A complaint was registered in Tilak Nagar police station against four unidentified persons under the relevant sections of IPC, said the police. The complainant and his friend were treated at Rajawadi Hospital, while the police are now hunting for the accused. neel.shah@afternoondc.in
