Chain snatching incidents are increasing daily in Pune. A CCTV footage of a man entering a shop and snatching a mangalsutra of a woman worth Rs 1 lakh and running away is viral on social media. The video of this theft was shared by Nationalist Congress Party (SP) leader Supriya Sule. In the video, the thief is seen entering the shop and pretending to be a customer. He is wearing a mask, cap, and jacket, so his real face is not captured in the CCTV footage. He buys a bag of milk, and after paying for it he snatches the woman’s mangalsutra worth Rs 1 lakh.
MP Supriya Sule shared this video on X, tagged Pune police, and wrote, “This video is from Warje, Pune. It is yet another example of how criminals are roaming free. Such scenes are extremely unfortunate and disappointing for a city like Pune. I request that the Pune Police Commissioner take this incident seriously. Strict action must be taken against those involved in such criminal activities.”
