Two Armed Men Attempt Car Snatching in Ludhiana; Vehicles Fail to StartPreviousNext

In Ludhiana's Ashok Nagar area, two armed men attempted to snatch cars at gunpoint in two consecutive incidents on Wednesday morning. Both vehicles failed to start, forcing the suspects to flee on foot. The first victim was a businessman preparing to play badminton, and the second was a resident about to drop his children at school. CCTV footage captured the events, which police are reviewing to identify the suspects. Residents raised alarms during the second attempt, causing the men to escape without taking any vehicle.
