It seems like chain snatching has now become a part of our life, as even after dozens of arrests in robbery cases in the past two weeks, chain snatchers are still active in the city.

An attempt at chain snatching has been reported at Choti Brahmpuri Area, Near R.M.V. School today at 4 pm.

Fortunately, the 20 gram Gold chain of Durga Soni (38) fell on the road when the snatcher was trying to flee away with it.

According to Durga, the incident occurred close to her house at Choti Brahmpuri, near the Satya Narayan Mandir. A man on a black color bike came from behind and snatched her chain, but coincidently at the same time, a car coming from the front distracted the snatcher and the chain slipped from his hand.

An eye witness including some kids playing in the area said that the bike used by the snatcher was a Yamaha 100cc and had no number on it. The rider had covered his face.

The Surajpol police has been informed about the incident.
