Newly unveiled KBC news anchor Shiksha Arora was on Monday evening (June 21, 2021) robbed while she was stuck on traffic at the Globe Cinema roundabout.
Narrating the incident on her Twitter page, Shiksha noted that the attack was well coordinated among three guys.
One guy knocked down her side mirror, the other kept banging the front seat passenger window, while the third one descended on her, since her window was not completely shut.
According to Shiksha, she was strangled and some of her belongings stolen during the ordeal. Fortunately, other road users came to her rescue after she hooted loudly.

“As I was looking to my left guy 3 slid his hand in through my window and unlocked my car, got into the back seat. Grabbed my purse & asked for my phone, at this point in time I was in panic mode, couldn’t say anything. He asked for it again & reached for my neck, strangling me
“As he was strangling my neck, I desperately gasped for air, I started hooting loudly to get some attention hoping somebody would help me. People started getting out of their cars and that’s when he let go and fled. He went with my purse but I am Traumatized that he attacked me.
“Lesson- These thugs work in teams in broad daylight during peak traffic, don’t roll down your window no matter what when on globe roundabout. I got lucky, he didn’t manage to hurt me much despite strangling my neck and getting away with my purse. I am okay but traumatized,” she posted
