The gang took away all his earnings before assaulting him. Out of panic, he surrendered everything he had to them.

The men who claimed to be revenue collectors stopped the driver before harassing him and ordering him to give everything in his possession to them. They were operating using a probox moving at night in the name of government officials before committing the offence.
