PHAGWARA: A youth from Mohalla Gobindpura in Phagwara was allegedly abducted, assaulted and forced to transfer money at gunpoint after being taken to a house in nearby Mauli village. The victim was later admitted to the Civil Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.
According to the victim, Jair Ram, who works at a framing laboratory near Vishal Mega Mart, three youths known to him through a common acquaintance approached him during the evening and asked him to accompany them outside. Trusting them, he went along.
