A woman employee of Doordarshan became a victim of snatching in south Delhi's Hauz Khas on Thursday, police said.
The complainant told the police that when she was on her way to her office from Green Park in an autorickshaw while talking to someone on her cell phone, two men came on a scooter and snatched the phone by brandishing a pistol, they added.
The miscreants then fled towards the Asiad Village society while she chased them, the police said.
