Before she could understand what had happened, the suspects, who were riding a motorcycle without a registration number, fled the spot,” he said.

The couple later filed a complaint at the Bisrakh police station.

Police said they were examining CCTV footage of the nearby areas to identify and trace the suspects.

A case has been registered at the Bisrakh police station against unidentified suspects under the BNS section for snatching, and further probe is underway.
