Gold chain of MLA wife snatched on Dwarka road

NEW DELHI: Two men on a bike snatched the gold chain of the wife of Krishna Nagar MLA and former Delhi BJP chief Dr Harshvardhan. The snatching took place in Dwarka sector 23 in southwest Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Police said the MLA's wife was going to her father's place in sector 22. "She was going from sector 23 to sector 22 on foot when two men on a bike snatched her chain and sped away.The victim could not see their faces as the men were wearing helmets. We have registered a case and are investigating the matter. We are questioning several people in this regard," said a senior police officer.
Speaking to TOI, Dr Harshvardhan said, "My wife was going to my in-laws' house in sector 22 when the incident occurred. Her father's place is at a walking distance, almost across the road, so she chose to walk than use the car. It was then when these men struck. They snatched her chain, but the locket fell on the road in the struggle. If this can happen in a colony like Dwarka, then the situation in other areas can be well imagined. We have approached police and asked them to take appropriate action."
Residents alleged that incidents of snatching and other petty crimes had become common in the area.
