In a shocking incident, a bike-borne couple allegedly thrashed a man in Gurugram after he refused to give them Rs 50. After assaulting him, the couple stole Rs 20,000 from his wallet. The incident happened on Friday.

Police arrested the couple on Saturday based on the complaint of the victim and were produced before a local court and sent to jail on Sunday. According to the SHO, the two accused have been identified as Sumit (28) and Anshu (19).
