A man lost ₹4.50 lakh from the dicky of his Activa scooter. The accused stole his sack from the dicky. A case was registered against an unidentified individual for alleged theft at Oshiwara police station on July 19.

According to the FIR, Sayyad Hussain (42) a resident of Jogeshwari West, is a businessman who buys and sells vehicles. On July 19, Hussain received ₹4,50,000 in a business deal. On the same day, his wife fell ill, so he took her to the Hospital while carrying the ₹4.50 lakhs to be deposited in the bank. His plan was to deposit the money after his wife's check-up.

At 11.30 am, Hussain left with his wife for the check-up. As it was raining at the time, he placed ₹ 4.50 lakhs in cash, his wallet, and documents belonging to him and his wife inside a sack, which he then placed in the dicky of his Activa scooter.
