Pune: Rising Mangalsutra Thefts In City Raise Concerns Over Safety
A surge in mangalsutra thefts has raised alarm in the city, with the latest incident in Karvenagar highlighting the growing audacity of criminals.
On Tuesday morning, an elderly woman became the target of a chain snatcher who grabbed her mangalsutra and fled. In a shocking turn of events, a portion of the ornament broke and fell to the ground during the theft. Instead of escaping immediately, the thief brazenly returned, picked up the fallen piece, and fled the scene.
The incident, which took place in broad daylight, has left residents questioning the effectiveness of the city’s law enforcement. With rising cases of snatching, citizens are demanding stronger police action and stricter patrolling to curb such crimes.
This is not an isolated event, as multiple cases of chain snatching have been reported across Pune in recent weeks. Criminals appear to be operating without fear, raising concerns about the safety of vulnerable individuals, especially senior citizens.
Residents are urging Pune Police to intensify surveillance, deploy more personnel, and take immediate action against such criminals. Authorities have assured that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the suspect in the Karvenagar incident.
As crime rates climb, citizens hope for swift intervention to restore law and order in Pune.
