An unknown thief allegedly cut the bag of a 60-year-old commission agent with a blade and stole ₹2 lakh in cash while he was travelling on an Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) bus in Ahmedabad. The incident took place near the Chokha Bazaar bus stop in the Kalupur area when the victim was getting off the bus. Dariapur police have registered a case against the unidentified accused and started an investigation.
The victim, Vinodkumar Kansara, lives in the Thaltej area and runs a firm named Max Corporation at Kabutarkhana Complex in Kalupur Chokha Bazaar. He works in demand drafts and banking commissions. He had recently undergone surgery on his hip and was unable to drive, so he was using AMTS buses to travel between his home and office.
How the Theft Took Place
On October 22, Kansara left his home with a cloth bag containing a water bottle, glasses and ₹2 lakh in cash for his business work. He boarded an AMTS bus from the Sattadhar bus stop. At around 3.15 pm, when the bus reached the stop near Hanumanji Temple in Kalupur Chokha Bazaar, he stood near the front door to get off.
- Bag cut with a blade: While Kansara was standing near the crowded exit, an unknown person allegedly cut his cloth bag with a blade.
- ₹2 lakh missing: After getting off the bus, he noticed that his bag had been cut and the cash was missing.
Police Register Case and Begin Investigation
Kansara reportedly asked for the bus to be stopped so he could check what had happened. However, he could not find the thief or recover the money. He was frightened by the incident and returned home without immediately filing a complaint.
Later in the evening, after discussing the matter with a friend, Kansara went to Dariapur police station and filed a complaint. The police registered a case against an unknown person and began investigating the theft.
The incident has raised concerns about thefts on crowded public transport, where criminals may take advantage of passengers while they board or get off buses. Police are investigating the case to identify the accused and trace the stolen cash.
