A woman judge has suffered head injuries after falling on a road while trying to save her handbag from bike-borne snatchers in north Delhi’s Gulabi Bagh area, police said on Tuesday. According to the police, the woman judge was looted by two bike-borne snatchers on March 6 at 10 p.m., when she was taking a walk with her 12-year-old son in the Gulabi Bagh area.
“Two bike-borne snatchers came from behind and tried to snatch her bag. While she was trying to resist their attempts, she fell on the road and suffered a minor head injury. The woman’s son immediately informed his father, and he took him to the hospital,” the police said.
As per the police, there were about Rs 8,000 in cash, an ATM card, and some documents in her handbag. “On March 7, a case was registered on the complaint of Master Yuvraj, a resident of Gulabi Bagh, Delhi, in which he alleged that two persons on a motorcycle robbed his mother, Rachna Tiwari Lakhanpal, who is a judicial officer. She had a bag containing Rs 8 thousand, some documents, and an ATM card. She was pushed by robbers, resulting in a head injury,” the police said.
The Delhi Police immediately registered the case under Sections 394 (person voluntarily causing harm in committing or attempting to commit robbery) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). With the help of technical surveillance and human intelligence, a team from the Gulabi Bagh Police Station apprehended two accused persons, Dilshad and Rahul. “During the investigation, on the basis of CCTV footage, we found the bike and arrested both of the accused,” added police.
