Two unidentified youths fled on a motorbike after snatching the gold jewellery of a 63-year-old woman. The incident took place early Thursday morning when she was taking her morning walk. The victim is the mother-in-law of Municipal Corporation councillor Gurbaksh Rawat.
Shakambri Rawat was on her way back home,in Sector 40,from her morning walk when a person,with his face covered,came from behind and grabbed her neck. I resisted when he tried to choke me and snatch my chain. I retaliated and hit him with my elbow, said Rawat.
She added,I managed to get hold of the chain but it broke into two pieces of which one remained in my hand and the other fell in the hands of the miscreant. He then tried to pull out my earrings. I shouted for help to another person standing next to a bike and wearing a helmet a few metres away. Little did I realise that the passerby was an accomplice of the snatcher. So that my screams are drowned,he started blowing the horn of his bike, added Rawat. The incident took place around 50 metres away from her house at 7.15 in the morning. According to Rawat,both of them were of medium height and physically well built.
Both then escaped on the bike after robbing Rawat of her valuables. According to her,the bike was blue in colour and the registration number plate was folded so that no one could read the number.
Rawat suffered minor bruises on her neck. Her family members immediately called the police who reached within five minutes to the site of the crime. Our team immediately rushed to their house as soon as we got the call. We are investigating the case and will catch the culprits soon, said Rajiv Shukla,station house officer of Sector 39.
