Delhi: 2,600 snatching cases since May alone

In January and February, there were 1,206 incidents of snatchings. There appeared a lull when such incidents dropped to just 903 between March and May. But a sudden spurt in the four months since has taken the total figure to 4,762 at September end. This is Delhi Police's conservative assessment. The number might actually be higher if cases that went unreported or for which e-FIRs were filed are considered. The death of at least two snatching victims in Sonia Vihar and Sagarpur underline the brazenness with which street criminals are now operating.
