Two snatching accused let off as prosecution case falls flat

A sessions court has acquitted two men accused in a 2021 gold chain snatching case, citing numerous flaws in the prosecution's evidence.

Vicky of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, and Sumit Kumar alias Shagun of Karnal, Haryana, were booked by Sector-14 police in a case registered under Section 379-A of the IPC.

The case stemmed from a complaint by Parveen Kumar, husband of victim Prem Bhasin. On June 4, 2021, Bhasin reported that while returning from a morning walk around 7 am, two individuals on a motorcycle snatched her gold chain and fled towards Budanpur village.
