CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies:
In Kanpur, miscreants snatched an advocate’s chain on the pretext of asking for an address. The incident was carried out barely 100 metres from a police outpost. It is being reported that four robbers stopped the advocate on the road, first asked him for an address and then, finding an opportunity, snatched the chain from his neck.
The sudden incident left the advocate shaken. After the incident, the accused fled from the spot. The victim informed police about the incident and lodged a complaint. The robbery taking place so close to a police outpost has also raised questions over the security arrangements in the area.
After receiving the information, police began investigating the matter. CCTV footage from nearby cameras may be examined to identify and arrest the accused. However, no detailed information has so far emerged from police regarding the arrest of the accused.
Such incidents in broad daylight or at public places increase concern over people’s safety.
