Yogeshan, the victim’s husband, said that they live in Sector 127, Gillco Valley, and he runs a mobile shop. Around 8 pm, Bharti had taken their younger daughter to the nearby market to get her spectacles repaired.
According to the CCTV footage, a youth wearing an orange turban and holding a packet in his hand was seen standing near the turn, observing passersby and seemingly searching for a soft target. Bharti arrived with her daughter, who was riding a small bicycle while Bharti held it from behind.
As soon as Bharti turned the corner, the youth suddenly lunged from behind and snatched her gold chain — weighing approximately two tolas — from her neck. Shocked by the sudden attack, Bharti lost her grip on her daughter’s bicycle handle and momentarily froze, focusing on her daughter. Meanwhile, the snatcher ran towards a waiting motorcycle.
His accomplice, who was wearing a black turban and had covered his face with a handkerchief, was already on a running motorcycle. After the snatching, both sped off.
Despite the crowd, the snatcher collided with another biker while fleeing — yet no one tried to apprehend him. The entire act was captured clearly on a CCTV camera installed at a nearby shop.
The police have registered the case against unknown persons.
