In a bizarre incident, two Delhi robbers who were trying to rob a couple at gunpoint ended up giving them Rs 100 and left the scene without harming them in any way.
Footage of the empathetic robbers and their attempted robbery was captured on CCTV cameras at the Farsh Bazaar area of east Delhi's Shahdara on June 21. The footage shows two men, both wearing helmets, stopping their two-wheeler near the couple. One man gets off the scooter and points a gun at the couple, while the other appears to frisk them.
Realising that they had nothing on them except Rs 20 banknotes, the robbers were seen handing them something to the couple before driving off. The couple later told police that the bike-borne robbers gave them a Rs 100 note, according to an NDTV report.

“Both the robbers had consumed a lot of alcohol at the time of the incident. After examining the CCTV footage, it was found that these robbers had created panic in many areas. We have recovered the pistol,” said DCP Shahdara, Rohit Meena.
The two robbers told police that they were trying to join the gang of gangster Neeraj Bawana and were influenced by his YouTube videos. Cops recovered around 30 stolen cellphones from their possession.
