Scooter-borne youths snatch gold chain of 62-year-old woman in Chandkheda

An elderly woman on her morning walk was robbed of her gold chain near Sepal Elegance-04 in Chandkheda. The incident occurred around 7 am when two unidentified men on an Activa scooter approached her and swiftly snatched her chain weighing 15 grams, valued at approximately ₹40,000.

The victim, identified as Vijayalakshmi, 62, was walking alone when the two suspects—one wearing a green T-shirt—suddenly appeared from the S P Ring Road side. Before she could react, the pillion rider grabbed her chain and fled the scene with the driver. The duo believed to be aged between 20 and 25 years, managed to escape before any help could arrive.

The woman’s son, Rajatsingh, who was out of town for work in Mundra, Kutch, was informed of the incident over the phone. Concerned about his mother’s safety, following the incident, he immediately filed a formal complaint with the police upon his return.

The Chandkheda police have registered the case and initiated an investigation. The police are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify the suspects and track their movements. Meanwhile, they have urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
