Goureesh (29), a former advocate and resident of Annapoorneshwarinagar, and his associates, Ramesh alias Dummesh (22), K Krishnamurthy alias Kurikrishna (27) and Krishna (20), residents of Sunkadakatte, rammed into victim H Srinivasmurthy’s car from behind, with their two cars, near Ring Road, Veerbhadra slum at 10:30 pm on Sunday. At the outset, they promised to get his car repaired, but later changed their mind, took out the pistol, threatened him and made away with Srinivasmurthy’s vehicle, a cell phone, Rs 30,000 cash and other valuables.

Goureesh had given up practicing law and had taken up real estate business. He carried out the robbery for making quick money, the police added.
