MOHALI:

The incident occurred around 2.30 am amid heavy fog.

The car occupants, Ekamdeep Singh Brar and his friend Inderpal Singh, both from Patiala, were on their way to Chandigarh in a white Toyota Etios Liva (PB-34-2354) when they were targeted.

Brar, who runs Urban Estate Cafe and a restaurant in Patiala, told police that they had reached the IT City area on Airport Road when three men on a motorcycle signaled them to pull over.

Brar said when he did not comply, the suspects blocked his car's path and attempted to force him to stop.
