Gold chain worth Rs 12k snatched

Pune: A man snatched a gold chain worth Rs12,000 of a medical student (22) on the Bhandara Dongar (hillock) near Dehu, where she had gone with one of her friends on Saturday evening for offering prayers at the Sant Tukaram temple.
Sub-inspector Rahul Koli of Talegaon MIDC police said the victim and her friend stayed in their college hostel in Talegaon.
On the way back, the duo sat along the road. “They saw a person coming towards them. He went ahead and pretended to drink water from a pipe. Then he suddenly came near them, snatched the gold chain and disappeared into the bushes on the hillock,” Koli said. The student lodged a complaint on Sunday.
