Armed robbers struck again in the city, this time targeting a gas agency employee at Guru Vihar on Rahon Road on Tuesday afternoon.
However, the victim fought off the two robbers, who fled after injuring him with a sharp-edged weapon.
The victim, Badru Ansari, 48, told the police that he was tasked with collecting cash for Thaman Gas Agency.
