Three men take SUV for test drive, flee with it

NEW DELHI: Posing as potential buyers, three men took an

SUV

for a test drive and on the way, threw chilli powder in the eyes of the car owner and fled with the vehicle.


The complainant, Naman Jain, told police that he runs a pre-owned car showroom in in east Delhi’s

Preet Vihar

market. He said that on Friday evening, three men — all in their 20s — came to the showroom. They showed interest in a Mahindra Scorpio but told Jain they would like to take a test drive. Jain too sat with the trio as they took the car out for a drive. However, on an isolated stretch, the robbers allegedly threw chilli powder in Jain’s eyes and threw him out of the car. Before the victim could regain visibility, the accused fled with the SUV.
