PUNE: Two unidentified persons allegedly looted Rs 4.86 lakh from an employee of an agency of consumer goods. The incident took place at Laxminagar in Dattawadi around 4pm on Wednesday.
The employee, Kailas Shivram Jedhe (41), a resident of Sadashiv Peth, has lodged a complaint with the Dattawadi police station.
