Chandigarh Police have successfully dismantled a snatching gang with the arrest of 26-year-old Komal, a resident of Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, India. The gang was known for approaching pedestrians at night under the pretense of asking for directions, while an accomplice would stealthily rob the victim of their valuables. During the arrest, police recovered a black purse containing a PAN card, Aadhaar card, visiting card, and ₹200 in cash from Komal. The gang primarily targeted individuals in the evening and is believed to have engaged in these crimes to support drug addiction. The arrest was made in connection with an FIR registered on April 17, 2026, following a complaint from a 21-year-old man who reported being robbed near the Sector 48 bus stop. Police are continuing their efforts to locate the two remaining members of the gang.
