Alleged Snatching Incident In Silchar Raises Questions: Victim's Claim Sparks Controversy

An alleged snatching incident involving a gang has sparked controversy after a woman claimed to have lost a significant amount of money while returning home from a bank in Rangirkhari, Silchar. The incident, which circulated widely on social media, occurred on Friday afternoon and has raised concerns about safety and the involvement of the local authorities.

According to the victim, she boarded an e-rickshaw to head towards National Highway Road, accompanied by four other passengers. However, she alleges that one of the passengers sprayed a chemical on her face, rendering her unconscious. When she regained consciousness, she found herself at a different location and discovered her money missing from her bag.

The victim’s account was supported by eyewitnesses who gathered at the scene and apprehended the four women allegedly involved in the incident. However, the accused women claimed innocence, stating that they were returning from a visit to an ophthalmologist and denied any involvement in the theft.

The altercation between the victim, the accused, and the locals raises questions about the credibility of the claims and the safety of public transport. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the possible involvement of the e-rickshaw driver in the incident.

As the investigation unfolds, Cachar Police is yet to release an official statement regarding the matter. Meanwhile, the incident has sparked debates about the safety of carrying large sums of money in public and the response of both the authorities and the public to such incidents.
