Chennai: The city police have launched a search for a youth who robbed money at knifepoint from an employee of a private company in broad daylight in Coimbatore. Police said on Monday that the youth, identified as Ananth, 26, had grabbed Rs 500 cash from the short pocket of 54-year-old Maharajan, a resident of Amman Kulam near Ramanathapuram, after waylaying and threatening him at knifepoint when the latter was returning home from a chicken stall on Sunday morning. The youth had reportedly demanded money for an alcoholic drink, but as Maharajan refused, he was forcibly relieved of his cash before the youngster took to his heels, police said.
