"The bikers overtook our auto and parked their bike in front of us," Varma said. "We were confused about what was happening when one of them aggressively got into our auto. He snatched my phone and threatened us." Despite her attempts to call the police, she struggled to get through, and it was only when a crowd began to gather that the bikers fled the scene.
