wo unidentified miscreants looted a gold chain Tfrom an elderly woman in Jankipuram on Wednesday afternoon. According to reports, Ram Sundari (58) of Sector 3 in Jankipuram, had gone to fetch her grandson from Central School Academy in the area. Around 12:10 pm, she and her grandson left for home. They had moved barely a few steps when two miscreants riding a motorcycle came from behind and the pillion rider snatched her gold chain. The woman tried to catch the pillion rider but he pushed her down and the duo sped off . The police spokesman said a case of loot was reg- istered against the miscreants. The police are scanning the footages of CCTV cameras installed at the school and other houses close to the school in an attempt to identify the chain- snatchers. The incident drew sharp criticism from the public and parents of schoolchildren. “The police had announced to deploy cops near schools but no policemen are seen there. As a mat- ter of fact, the cops arrived at the scene about one- and-half hour after they were informed about the incident,” they said. The parents said usually women come to fetch children from school and in the absence of securi- ty, they often fall victim to chain and purse snatch- ers. #       *    Lucknow (PNS): Two men were caught by the locals on suspicion of being child-lifters and thrashed in Vikas Nagar on Wednesday morning. It later transpired that the two were thieves and had come to the area to commit theft.

Both were caught by the mob and thrashed on the suspicion that they were child-lifters and had made an attempt to lift Abdul Rauf and Artiq. Later, both were handed over to the police team which reached the spot. The police identified the duo as Rohit Kumar Kashyap and Rohit Tiwari, both of Aliganj. Police said Kashyap and Tiwari had entered the house to commit theft but they became panicky when the chil- dren started screaming.   ! !
