Four year RI for auto driver

New Delhi, July 20 (UNI) A Delhi court sentenced an autorickshaw driver and his two friends to four year's rigorous imprisonment and Rs 500 each in fine today for having robbed a passenger of about Rs 450 six years ago.

The three -- Abdul Kasim, Sidhu Ram and Mohammad Mansoor -- allegedly gave a sedative-laced drink to Nirmal, the passenger, and took away all his cash.

The man from Ludhiana had hired the autorickshaw from Inter State Bus Terminus to New Delhi Railway Station on August 18, 2000, when the auto driver and his two friends robbed him.

Additional Sessions Judge Rajeev Mehra passed the order today on conclusion of the trial.
