Gold chain snatched from govt employee at Zirakpur bus stand

A gold chain was snatched from a government employee at Zirakpur's Singhpura bus stand by a group of women who surrounded her, created a distraction, and fled in waiting vehicles. The victim, Pooja, a 32-year-old legal assistant, reported the September 7 incident to police recently. Pooja was boarding a bus to Panchkula when four to five women surrounded her. One pretended to fall, causing confusion, and her gold mangalsutra was stolen. The suspects escaped in a white Hyundai Venue and a white Maruti Suzuki Swift. A case has been registered, and police are reviewing CCTV footage. The incident mirrors a July snatching at the same bus stand, where 60-year-old Suman Arora lost two gold bangles. In that case, a woman and man blocked her boarding, and the accused remain untraced.
