Botir in his complaint, which he filed through the manager of his hotel, Mohit Sehrawat, alleged that the incident happened Saturday around 9 pm when he and his brothers were returning to his hotel from a mall.

"The car occupants said they were policemen and even showed their ID cards and ordered us to get our bags checked," Botir said in his complaint.
After checking their passports, one of them took Botir's bag for checking and took out 16,000 US dollars on the sly and sped away in the car, said police.
