PW-3 started walking and after some steps 3-4 boys came from behind and caught hold of him and started beating him. They tried to snatch his bag which contained important papers and cash of Rs.2000/-. In this scuffle PW-3 was thrown down from the bridge. The boys came under the bridge; one the boys showed him a knife and another caught hold of him; the third boy snatched his bag; they thereafter fled away. PW-3 met some metro persons who informed the police.
