The victims have been identified as Shamik Pushkar and Ankit Chaudhury, both MIT students and close friends.
The incident occurred around 9:45 pm on Thursday, when the duo got into an auto-rickshaw near Mighty Restaurant. Three persons were already sitting in the auto-rickshaw.
The students directed the auto-rickshaw driver to take them to Kamath Circle. But instead of dropping them at Kamath Circle, the auto-rickshaw driver took them to Mannapalla, where two persons were waiting.
Then all the six persons, including the auto-rickshaw driver, assaulted the two students. They snatched their ID card, ATM cards and two cellphones valued at Rs. 10,000. They also forcibly took their ATM PIN numbers.
A case has been registered at Manipal Police station.
