Left with no choice, Nur Sophia called her father and asked him to pick her up from the Sri Rampai LRT station and fetch her to the office.

While waiting, she was suddenly approached by two men on a motorcycle, where one of them slashed her bag with a knife and seized her handphone and company laptop.
