Chandigarh Court Sentences Man to Five Years in 2023 Snatching Case
A Chandigarh court sentenced Dinesh Kumar, a Mohali resident, to five years of rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs 28,000 for a 2023 snatching incident in Sector 48. The case involved two youths on a motorcycle who snatched a labourer's wallet containing Rs 50 and his Aadhaar card. The pillion rider, Dinesh, was caught by passersby, while the juvenile driver fled but was later apprehended. The court found the complainant's testimony reliable despite a hostile witness and dismissed defence claims of inconsistencies.
