An NRI woman's purse was snatched by two bike-borne men in the Shanti Path area here, the police said today.
The woman, owner of a five-star hotel in Lutyens' Delhi, stated in her police complaint that the purse had lakhs of rupees, foreign currency, two passports and her cell phone.
She had come to Delhi from Mumbai on Monday. She was headed towards her house from the airport when the bike-borne men signalled her, apparently to indicate that something was wrong with her car, the police said.
The woman asked the driver to stop the vehicle. As they stepped out to see what was the matter, the two men snatched her purse and fled the spot, the police said.
The woman, in her complaint, said there was a UAE passport, a UK passport, Rs 90,000, 1,300 dinar and diamond jewellery in her purse.
It is suspected that the "thak-thak" gang might be involved in the crime. The police are scanning the CCTV footage obtained from the area in order to identify the accused.
