A confectionery owner was allegedly robbed by four armed assailants on the pretext of buying a sweet dish, police said on Thursday.

Naresh Sharma, who owns a sweet shop near Mandolla bus stand, told police that when he was to shut his shop at around 10pm on Tuesday, four men in a car arrived at his shop and robbed him.
