Student’s gold chain snatched

Two unidentified youths on a motorcycle snatched a gold chain from a digital marketing student, Eitisargun Kaur, in the Sarabha Nagar area here.

The incident occurred around 2:30 pm near the Lodhi Club Road underbridge on November 8. The victim was on her way home from office when the assailants snatched her chain and fled the scene.

She suffered injuries on her neck during the incident. The police registered a case against the unidentified youths and started checking CCTV footage to identify the culprits.

“The police are investigating the matter and trying to trace the duo,” said ASI Jagjit Singh.

The incident is the latest in a series of daylight snatchings in Ludhiana. In past weeks, several incidents of snatching had occurred in the city and most of them are lying unsolved with the city police. Notably, most of the snatchers were repeated offenders who continue to commit such acts even after coming out on bail from prison. The police have failed to keep a tab over such criminals to curb crime in city areas.
