Elderly doctor injured in South Delhi chain snatching, 2 arrested
New Delhi: An elderly doctor fell victim to a violent chain-snatching incident in South Delhi’s Safdarjung Enclave last week, prompting a swift and extensive investigation that led to the arrest of two accused—one of them captured after a 700-kilometre interstate chase.
According to the news reports, the accused are a 32-year-old resident of Pul Prahladpur and a 26-year-old from Tilak Nagar, both with extensive criminal backgrounds. The former, released from jail on February 27, has been involved in over 40 criminal cases. The latter, who was released on April 29, has faced more than 14 cases, including charges of dacoity, robbery, snatching, violations of the Arms Act, and even murder.
The complainant said that two men on a bike snatched her gold chain before fleeing, said DCP (Southwest) Amit Goel, reports TNIE.
Medical Dialogues recently reported that in a recent case of robbery, a city-based woman doctor sustained a hip fracture while fighting off bike-borne snatchers who robbed her of two gold chains in southwest Delhi's Safdarjung Enclave area, an official said.
