At around 2.00 am when they reached near Dwarka More, a car blocked their truck, three men got down from it and started to thrash them.

Pandey, in complaint, said a fourth man, who was driving the accused's car, was involved in the crime.

While one of the accused drove the truck another left with their car, Pandey said.

Besides the truck, the accused robbed Pandey of Rs 20,000 cash and his mobile phone, Anto Alphonse, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) said.

Upon seeing police officials on patrol duty on the Dwarka route, Pandey raised an alarm following which one of the accused, Arun Kumar (25), was arrested on the spot, he said.
