Gold Chain Snatching Jolts High-Security Chanakyapuri

Member of Parliament R Sudha faced a distressing encounter when her gold chain was forcibly taken during a morning walk in Chanakyapuri, Delhi, an area known for its diplomatic residences and high security. The incident occurred near the Embassy of Poland around 6 am, raising questions about safety in the area.

Despite shouting for assistance, Sudha did not receive immediate help from bystanders. A police emergency vehicle eventually noticed her plight, leading to official involvement in the case. Sudha has formally complained about the incident to both Delhi Police and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, emphasizing her distress over safety lapses.

The police have launched a thorough investigation, deploying multiple teams to trace the accused using CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts. Security measures have been tightened around the vicinity, as Sudha, attending a parliamentary session in Delhi, highlighted the alarming breach in what should be a secure zone.
