Snatching cases at Zirakpur on the rise
Zirakpur, April 11 A majority of snatching incidents have taken place during afternoon and late evening hours when it is difficult to identify snatchers. Snatchers grab the victims from the back and snatch their chains, earrings and other ornaments and escape from the scene within seconds. They target women who pass through deserted areas. In a recent incident, two bikers snatched a gold chain of three tolas from Elha Devi, a resident of Hem Vihar, Phase I. According to Elha Devi, the incident occurred around 3 pm on Friday when she was standing outside her house where two youths on their red-coloured motorcycle parked their bike near her. In no time one of the youths attacked her and snatched her gold chain. Acting swiftly, Elha Devi caught the shirt of the youth, but the accused assaulted her and managed to flee from the spot. She said that though one of the youths was wearing a helmet, she saw the face of another youth. “I will never forget his face and will recognise him if I see him anywhere in the area,” she added. A similar incident occurred on Friday when two youths riding a motorcycle targeted another woman, Preetam Kaur in Nagla village. Sources revealed that two incidents of snatching occurred yesterday at Preet Colony, where the motorcycle-borne youths snatched a gold chain and an earring set within one hour. Last week two youths were nabbed by the local residents near a private school at Baltana when they were trying to snatch a chain of the schoolteacher, sources added. According to police sources, most of the youths involved in the incidents of chain or purse snatching are drug addicts. They adopt different types of modus operandi -- either a youth snatches the purse or a chain in lonely places, or engages the victim in a conversation and commit the crime. However, SSP, Mohali, GS Bhullar claimed there was a downfall in crime activities at Zirakpur. Recently, the local police nabbed the snatchers and other anti-social elements who were involved in various criminal activities.

City lad tops PGTI rankings
Chandigarh, April 11 Sujjan Singh demonstrated his burst of form in the playoff after he and Sri Lanka’s Anura Rohana tied for the top slot at seven under 281 in regulation play. An alumni of Bishop Cotton, Shimla, he talked about his steady form this year in a chit chat at the Chandigarh Golf Club today. “The Panchkula triumph was like a movie script,” said Sujjan. A drummer in fellow golf pro Gurbaaz Maan’s “Driving iron” ensemble, Sujjan Singh was into squash and football in his school days. But this part-time percussionist is now head over heels into golf. That he has nerves of steel was amply demonstrated when he came back from a disastrous nine on the par-4 seventh on the second day of the PGTI Players Championship in Panchkula. At the moment, Sujjan heads the PGTI Order of Merit with earnings of Rs 9,69,700. Seasoned Mukesh Kumar is second with earnings of Rs 7,69,200, followed by Asian Tour player SSP Chowrasia. But still there are many tournaments to come. Jeev Milkha Singh has been a guiding force for him. |
