A teacher was robbed of Rs 2 lakh after his attention was diverted by a gang of three persons, at Bhuvaneshwari Circle, Mysuru, on Friday.
Shivakumar, a resident of the city who is constructing a house in Nanjangud, was carrying Rs 2 lakh in a bag to pay wages after visiting a bank.
A man, who followed him, sprayed some kind of chemical on him while he was waiting for a bus.
When Shivakumar left the bag full of money to wash his burning eyes, the thieves allegedly escaped with the bag.
