The Byatarayanapura police on Monday, July 4, arrested a 23-year-old salesman of a mobile shop and his elder brother for cooking up a robbery story to pocket the cash which he was carrying to the shop on a scooter.
The accused Shabaaz, 23 was working as a salesman at a wholesale mobile shop owned by Abubakar in Kasturbanagar. On June 28, Abubakar, based on an order, asked Shabaaz to deliver a few sets of mobile phones to different shops in KR Puram and get the money. He also asked Mohammed, another new salesman, to accompany Shabaaz.
The accused hatched a plan to pocket the money and roped in his elder brother Azeez. As per the plan, while Shabaaz and Mohammed were returning to the shop with the cash on a scooter, he came down on Mysuru road flyover and took a deviation on a cross road instead of taking the straight road to the shop.
