Gurugram: An Iraqi couple was robbed of $15,000 by two men posing as police officers in the city.
According to a PTI report, a complaint was filed by Nada Ali Salman. The complaint added that the incident took place around 3:30 pm on Sunday when she and her husband were going to the market from their hotel.
The couple was lodging at a hotel in Gurugram for some days as the husband is scheduled to undergo surgery at the Medanta Hospital.
On Sunday, the couple was stopped at the hotel gate by two men in a car. One of the men posing as a police officer told the couple that they were carrying drugs and he needed to search their belongings.
Nada further alleged that the man searched Nada’s bag and then asked her husband to show what he had in his pocket. Her husband was carrying USD 15,000 for his treatment in his wallet. When he showed the wallet to the men, they sniffed it, said there were drugs, and fled with the cash.
An FIR has been registered against the two unknown accused under sections 379 (theft), 420 (cheating), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code at Sadar police station.
