Two youths on a motorcycle targeted an NRI woman and fled with her gold chain on Wednesday late evening.
The victim, identified as Gurpreet Kaur, 40, told the police that she was taking a stroll outside her house in Sunny Enclave, Kharar, with her children when two bike riders came and snatched her gold chain.
