CHENNAI: Two men rammed their bike into the two-wheeler of a 21-year-old delivery executive near Thiruvottiyur before attacking him with a knife and stealing his two mobile phones and Rs 2,000 on Saturday night. RK Nagar police identified the victim as V Jeeva of Ernavoor. Jeeva was on his way to deliver an order at Thiruvottiyur, when the suspects, who were in an inebriated state, rammed their two-wheeler into Jeeva’s bike.
“All three fell down and the duo began to argue with Jeeva, accusing him of causing the accident.

However, the miscreants took Jeeva to a secluded place in Thiruvottiyur near the CISF quarters. The duo then stole his two mobile phones and Rs 1,000 cash. They also attacked him with a knife and forced him to transfer Rs 1,000 to their bank account, before fleeing the spot,” the police added.
