The two brothers saw five miscreants riding on an Activa moped and a Splendor bike from Aath Rasta Square. The goons midway deliberately dashed against another Activa of a youth, aged 20-22, and picked up a quarrel with him. The accused snatched the key of the Activa and demanded money from the youth.
