According to Delhi police statistics, 7,669 cases of snatching have been reported in Delhi till November 15, indicating how unsafe Delhi’s streets have become. In August, a Manipuri woman had died after suffering serious injuries after falling off a moving auto on Panchsheel Marg when bike-borne snatchers tried to steal her purse. After spending half an hour there, they were headed home in Old Delhi’s Sitaram Bazar when the snatchers struck around 12 noon. When we turned towards ISBT at the Geeta Colony flyover, the two men came from behind and held my mother’s neck. As the bikers managed to flee, Abdullah managed to control the vehicle and stopped.
