A chain-snatcher, who has over 30 cases registered against him, was arrested by Dindoshi police on Tuesday. The accused, identified as Sanjay Sukam, used to target women going to work in the morning. One of his associates, however, is still absconding, said a police officer.

According to the police, a 30-year-old woman was going to work at 5 am on Monday when the accused, riding on a two-wheeler, approached her along with his associate and robbed her of a gold chain worth Rs 50,000 at knife-point. Their faces were covered with handkerchiefs.
