New Delhi : Two men on a motorcycle snatched a gold chain from an IANS journalist near her office in Green Park in south Delhi Friday afternoon.
Senior Correspondent Prathiba Raju was walking to the office from the Green Park Metro station when a motorcycle cruised by and the man on the pillion snatched her ‘mangal sutra’.
In no time, the motorcyclists sped away, even as the journalist gave chase on foot.
“I ran behind the speeding motorcycle shouting for help. But no one, not even the policemen at the nearby picket, responded,” Raju said. The police picket is located barely 50 metres from where the incident occurred.
Raju said the snatchers wore T-shirts and had black helmets. A complaint has been lodged at the Safdarjung Enclave police station.
Witnesses later said that many cases of chain snatching have occurred on the same road.
