# Man stabbed, robbed of Rs 25,000 after asking for bus stop in Bengaluru 2026-08-16T23:07:49+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 38-year-old man was stabbed and robbed of Rs 25,000 early Saturday in Bengaluru's T Dasarahalli after he asked a ragpicker for directions to a bus stop. Nagaraj G, a resident of Pavagada, approached an unidentified man near a wine shop around 1:30 am. The man allegedly abused him, snatched his bag, and took Rs 20,000 from it and another Rs 5,000 from his pocket. When Nagaraj resisted, the accused attacked him with a sharp weapon, stabbing him in the chest and striking his head and cheek. Youngsters who heard the commotion alerted police via helpline 112. Nagaraj was taken to a hospital and later lodged a complaint. Bagalagunte police arrested the accused, Manjunath, 60, a ragpicker, and registered a case under Section 309 (robbery) of the BNS. A senior officer said Manjunath claimed Nagaraj was drunk and rude, and that he broke a bottle in rage but denied the robbery. The officer added that the investigation is ongoing and action will be taken if the complaint is false. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
