It was a quiet night, and a couple had stepped out of their house not for any market run or a long journey, but simply to take a peaceful stroll inside their residential colony. While walking along the road, little did they know that a terrifying incident was about to unfold. Out of nowhere, a man riding a motorcycle appeared from the opposite direction, changing everything within a matter of seconds.
Lightning-fast snatching captured on CCTV camera
As the biker came close to the woman, he lunged forward with lightning speed. He yanked the gold chain from her neck and immediately accelerated away into the darkness. By the time the woman and her husband realized what had actually happened, the accused was already miles away. Fortunately, a CCTV camera installed near the spot recorded the entire sequence of events, leaving behind a crucial digital trail for investigators.
