Chennai: The victim Asaraj (25) Gengu Reddy street, who works at a hotel in Nungambakkam, was walking back home after his night shift when the incident happened.

Asaraj was crossing the Don Bosco school on Casa Major Road when an autorickshaw intercepted him and two men who alighted from the vehicle threatened him to part with his mobile phone.
