Despite the intensified patrolling by the police, there seems to be no let up in snatching incidents in the city which continue to haunt the residents every now and then.
While the police blames the residents for not taking preventive measures and continuing to wear gold chain and ear rings while moving on deserted roads, the people accuse the police of not doing enough to check the menace.
In today's incident, a city girl, Veerpal Kaur, who works as a marketing executive in a company selling household products, was attacked by a turbaned youth on a motorbike.
The youth tried to snatch her gold chain but failed. The girl was walking in a street near the Ganesha Basti at around quarter to eleven in the morning today. The girl resisted the snatching bid and tried to raise an alarm. But since it was a hot day, not many people were out on the streets.
