Satish Chaddha, a resident of Rohini, had boarded a bus from Saibaba Chowk to Karol Bagh yesterday and two youths allegedly pulled out Rs 4000 from his pocket while he was buying the ticket.
"He caught one of the boys but he had passed on the cash to his associate. When the vehicle halted at the bus stop and both the youths got down, Chaddha also got down and chased them," Chhaya Sharma, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer), said.
A Beat Constable Harish, who was present near Saibaba Chowk, apprehended one of the accused persons, who was identified as Kirpal Singh (21). Singh told police that his associate Anand managed to escape.
