She said: “They went ahead, took a look at us and made a U-turn and reached us. One of them got down and came up to me and said something. I had my earphones on. I took them off and asked him to repeat. He yelled at me to hand over my valuables, including mobile and cash, and threatened to kill me with a knife."

Prajna said she told him to take away whatever he wanted but not to harm them. But her friend Fathima, 20, (name changed) was angered. She grabbed the man by his collar while holding away the knife. "He tried to assault her and I started screaming loudly. Soon his associate joined us and caught hold of me," recalled Prajna.

The man Fathima was wrestling with managed to shed his T-shirt (she was holding him by the collar) and ran towards the scooter. When Fathima turned to help Prajna, the man holding her also fled.
