In another similar incident last year, a woman was dragged violently for several metres by men during a chain-snatching attempt in Tamil Nadu's Madurai.
The incident took place in October 2024, when the woman and her husband were out for shopping in Mattuthavani ahead of Diwali. After the couple's vehicle stopped on the roadside, two men approached them from behind and targeted the woman in an attempt to snatch the chain she was wearing.
The incident was recorded on CCTV, and showed how the woman was dismounting the bike, when the men attacked her. The man sitting pillion tried to snatch her chain, which did not break immediately, leading her to fall down. She was reportedly dragged for several metres by the speeding bike, India Today reported.
