Ludhiana: Two men on a bike snatched a purse from a woman in the busy Ghumar Mandi market on Saturday night.
Radhika Chauthani, 40, a resident of Deep Nagar, Civil Lines, said in her police complaint, “I was walking in the market when two men on a bike snatched my purse. I tried to chase them, but they sped away. The purse contained Rs 30,000, debit cards, my cellphone, house key and important ID proofs and documents.”
Radhika borrowed a phone from a passerby and called up the police.
Ghumar Mandi police post in-charge sub-inspector Jaswinder Singh said, “We have scanned the footage of CCTVs installed in the market. The accused have been captured fleeing towards Aarti Chowk. As it was night, the footage is not clear. More CCTVs are being scanned to trace them. We are recording the statement of the woman to lodge an FIR.”
