Raghavendra parked the car and was standing near it when two unidentified persons threw eight currency notes of Rs 10 denomination near the car. One of them drew Raghavendra’s attention towards the money. When Raghavendra bent down to pick it up, the other took the cash bag from the car through an open window. The duo fled immediately.
