Patel said, 'Modesra parked his scooter in front of his car, quietly approached Chauhan. Chauhan was talking on the phone when the accused put chili powder in his eyes. Before Chauhan could understand anything, Modesra moved to the other side of the car. The door opened, picked up the bag, and ran towards his two-wheeler. However, Chauhan chased and caught hold of the vehicle. The 30-year-old accused had to leave the scooter and run away on foot.' Eyewitnesses said Modesra tried to hide behind a car, but an elderly man noticed a commotion and informed the Vastrapur police after which he was arrested. Patel said police will investigate whether Modesra was involved in any other robbery or crime before.
