A hotel employee alleged that two motorcyclists stole ₹45,000 at Chouthiram Market, but police investigation showed the claim was unfounded and stemmed from a minor vehicle clash.
Indore police received a complaint from a hotel worker at Chouthiram Market alleging that two young men on motorcycles had threatened him with a knife and robbed him of ₹45,000. The employee claimed the incident occurred inside the market premises and that the youths fled after the assault.
Following the complaint, investigators visited the market, examined CCTV footage and interviewed witnesses. The review revealed that the alleged robbery was not a theft but a brief altercation that arose after the two motorcyclists accidentally collided with the employee's vehicle. No weapon was found, and the employee's statement about a knife was not corroborated.
Based on the evidence, the police concluded that the robbery charge was baseless. The case has been registered as a minor dispute, and no criminal charges for theft have been filed against the two youths. Authorities have warned against filing false complaints and urged the public to rely on factual evidence.
