On December 27, 2024, a man riding a scooter in Kalady was attacked with pepper spray and robbed off Rs 20 lakh at knife point by two motorcycle-borne individuals. The whole operation was carried out after extensive planning and surveillance which stretched over three months.
On the day, Davis, who works as a manager of a grocery wholesale firm, was travelling on his scooter to hand over the money to the business’ owner when he was intercepted by two motorcycle-borne individuals.
Davis had with him two bags containing a total of Rs 32 lakh. The strangers first used pepper spray on his face and reached for the bag. When Davis resisted, they brandished a knife and stabbed him before grabbing the bags. However, in their haste to flee, one of the bags fell down and was promptly recovered by another company employee following Davis, and the police were informed.
