New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the attack on a woman journalist by chain snatchers was sad and hoped the culprits were given the strictest punishment.
"I got to know about the incident where a woman journalist was attacked by chain snatchers. It is very unfortunate and saddening. I hope the culprits get the strictest punishment.
All of us together need to work to reduce the crime incidents in Delhi", Kejriwal said.
Journalist Joymala Bagchi suffered injuries on her face and hand after she was attacked by two bike-borne robbers in broad daylight who dragged her out of an auto-rickshaw, snatched her phone and managed to flee.
The incident occurred near Chittaranjan Park in New Delhi when Bagchi was travelling in an auto-rickshaw.
Bagchi was profusely bleeding when the locals came to her rescue. She was later taken to a nearby hospital by Delhi police and later shifted to AIIMS.
She suffered a fracture in her jaws and got stitches on her chin. She also suffered injuries on her hand.
MS Randhawa, Delhi Police PRO said that the case will be solved soon.
"We have formed teams and recovered some CCTV footages. The accused will be arrested soon. Some snatchers are being rounded up. Dossiers are being shown to the complainant. The case will be solved soon", he said
"I had gone for shopping near CR Park and was returning back at around 6 pm in an auto when two bike-borne miscreants came close to my auto while the traffic movement was slow.
They dragged me out of the moving auto. Later, they snatched my phone and sped away", Bagchi Said.
