A terrifying chain snatching incident in Bengaluru has left the city in shock after a woman suffered severe injuries, including severed fingers, during a brutal attack captured on CCTV.
The Brutal Attack
The horrific incident occurred when the victim was walking alone in the HBR Layout area. Two men on a motorcycle targeted her for her gold chain, but what followed was beyond ordinary chain snatching.
As the pillion rider grabbed her chain, the woman instinctively held on to her jewelry, leading to a violent tug-of-war. The thieves accelerated their bike while still pulling the chain, causing the woman to be dragged along the road.
Severe Injuries Sustained
The extreme force used by the criminals resulted in catastrophic injuries. Medical reports confirm that the victim suffered partially severed fingers on her right hand, along with multiple abrasions and bruises across her body.
Doctors at the nearby hospital stated that the woman required immediate surgical intervention for her hand injuries. "The trauma was severe, and she will need extensive treatment and rehabilitation," medical sources revealed.
CCTV Footage Reveals Horror
Security cameras in the area captured the entire incident, showing the moment the thieves targeted the woman and the violent struggle that ensued. The footage has become crucial evidence for police investigations.
Local residents expressed outrage after viewing the CCTV recording, describing the attack as "barbaric" and "inhuman." Many questioned the deteriorating law and order situation in the area.
Police Response and Investigation
Bengaluru Police have registered a case and launched a massive manhunt for the two accused. Multiple police teams are scanning through CCTV footage from nearby areas to track the motorcycle's escape route.
"We have formed special teams and are following several leads. The accused will be arrested soon," assured a senior police officer from the North East division.
Rising Safety Concerns
This incident has reignited concerns about women's safety in Bengaluru, particularly in areas where chain snatching cases have been frequently reported. Local women's organizations have demanded increased police patrolling and better security measures.
Safety experts recommend that citizens avoid wearing expensive jewelry in isolated areas and remain vigilant while walking alone. They also suggest installing better street lighting and increasing police visibility in vulnerable locations.
The police have urged anyone with information about the incident or the suspects to come forward and assist in the investigation.
