In Chandigarh, India, a local court has sentenced Anil to five years of rigorous imprisonment for his role in a 2020 chain snatching case. The incident occurred on June 25, 2020, when Anil and another man snatched a gold chain from a resident in Sector 47. The victim, Shobhna, recorded the motorcycle's registration number, leading to the arrest of Anil and his co-accused, Hari Parkash, on July 7, 2020. The police recovered the stolen gold chain in two pieces from their possession. Anil was also fined ₹25,000 for the snatching and received an additional two-year sentence for possession of stolen property, with both sentences to run concurrently. The court found the evidence, including the identification of the accused and the recovery of the stolen property, sufficient to establish Anil's guilt, despite the defense's claims of insufficient support from the complainant. Hari Parkash was later declared a proclaimed offender after failing to appear in court.
