A lady CISF constable single- handedly challenged and forced two snatchers to run, leaving behind their motorbike, despite getting no support from bystanders in east Delhi's South Ganesh Nagar area.
The snatchers managed to run away with the gold chain of the lady constable but they could not take their motorbike, which had came to halt and stopped as she scuffled with them, police said.
Premlata Kumari, 26, who is CISF constable and was going to Ghaziabad, was hit by the bike-borne snatchers while waiting for an auto-rickshaw in Ganesh Nagar around 8.30 pm yesterday.
As she fell down on the ground the duo snatched her gold chain and tried to escape. However, Premlata collected herself and scuffled with them, toppling them from motorbike.
She also hit back as the duo assaulted her but she gave up as no one from the crowd of bystanders came to help her.
However, when the duo tried to pick up their bike to flee she took a brick and chased forcing them to run away. Despite getting hurt she made a PCR call and reported the matter to police.
A case has been registered at Mandawali police station on the complaint of the constable and the snatchers are likely to be arrested soon, said a senior police officer.
