Nagpur News: The menace of chain snatching doesn’t appear to be ebbing in Nagpur city, even as security measures are being looked into by the city police. A senior citizen fell victim to chain- snatchers today, losing her gold chain worth around Rs. 35, 000
Ashalata Gopal Rao Awsare (66), a resident of Navin Shukarwari Shirke Road, was stopped by two young men on a bike under pretext of asking for direction to the house of an unknown “Mr. Jaiswal”.

On the basis of the victim’s complaint, Kotwali Police have filed a case under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Police Sub- Inspector Bobde has been put in charge of the case, and investigations are underway.
