After College Road, gold chain snatched by bike borne miscreants from Public School Road

Nov. 9: Just three day’s ago gold chain from the neck of a woman was snatched by two bike borne miscreants from College Road, Silchar. On Monday late evening, a similar incident happened at Public School Road, Silchar. The chain was snatched by the miscreants from the neck of Mollika Ghosh, wife of Dipak Ghosh, a resident of Surja Sen Lane in Public School Road, Silchar.

Narrating the incident, the victim, Mollika Ghosh said, “On Monday at around 7 PM, I was walking through the street of Shyamananda Ashram Lane (in Public School Road). Suddenly, 2 bike borne miscreants came near me and before I could understand anything, the pillion rider snatched away the gold chain from my neck and fled away from the spot at a great speed. Infact, when the pillion rider snatched the chain from my neck, the bike rider pushed me with one hand. I at once fell on the ground.”

She then raised a hue and cry, but by that time the miscreants disappeared from the spot. Passers by and shopkeepers from the vicinity rushed hearing her screams. They tried to locate the bike borne miscreants but in vain.

Post-lockdown, such incidents of money, mobile and chain snatching have increased in all the three districts of Barak Valley. Local residents expressed deep anguish over such repeated incidents of robbery in Silchar. They demanded that strict vigil should be done by the police so that such anti-social elements could be nabbed at the earliest.
