Two women, allegedly involved in chain snatching incidents in temples of north-west Delhi, have been arrested after they were apprehended by a crowd following snatching incidents, police said on Tuesday.
‘Meera and Sushila were apprehended with the help of Poonam Bansal and others when they snatched gold chains by taking advantage of the crowd which had gathered for Bhagwat Katha at Ram Mandir on Sunday,’ a senior police official said.
Poonam, a resident of Pitampura, had gone to the temple along with her husband.
