Man Makes Away With Laptop, Cash

BANGALORE: An unidentified man made away with a laptop, a bag containing some documents and Rs 20,000 belonging to a hotel owner in J P Nagar by diverting his attention on Wednesday night.

According to police, the incident took place when Kiran, a resident of N S Palya, was going home in his car around 9.30 pm. On the way, a man on a bike overtook him.
