Two unidentified men allegedly held a person at gunpoint and robbed him of an SUV from outside a prominent hotel in south Delhi, police said today.
The incident took place last evening when Kasinder Yadav, a driver by profession, was waiting for his employer not very far from a prominent hotel in Vasant Kunj area, when two youths approached him and pulled out a gun, a police official said.
The duo allegedly pointed the gun at Yadav and asked for the keys, following which they fled with the Toyota Fortuner car, the official said.

Yadav works as a driver for Delhi-based aromatherapist Dr Blossom Kochhar. Her daughter Samantha Kochhar said that the incident took place near an unmanned police post in the area.
"The whole incident reeks of police apathy. The check post which is usually manned by two policemen but did not have any of them present there at the time of the incident," she claimed.
Senior officials of Delhi Police's south district did not respond to phone calls and text messages.
