In Ludhiana, Punjab, India, police arrested two youths, Harmanpreet Singh, a physical training teacher, and Sunny, an employee at a shop, for allegedly injuring a 53-year-old woman, Renu Bala, during a purse-snatching incident in the Ghumar Mandi area. The incident occurred when Renu was walking to a finance company on National Road. As she was approached from behind by the suspects on a motorcycle, the pillion rider snatched her purse. Renu attempted to resist, leading to her being dragged on the road before falling and sustaining injuries. Eyewitnesses noted that a car driver narrowly avoided running her over by braking in time. The stolen purse contained a gold chain, earrings, a ring, silver bangles, ₹1,500 in cash (approximately $18 USD), and important documents. Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) and used CCTV footage to track the motorcycle, leading to the suspects' arrest. Local residents have expressed concern over the rising number of snatching incidents in the area, particularly targeting women and the elderly.
