NEW DELHI: A woman judge was injured when two motorcycle-borne miscreants allegedly snatched her bag in the Gulabi Bagh area of north Delhi, officials said on Tuesday. The two, identified by cops as Md Dilshad and Rahul, have been arrested. While there are 10 criminal cases pending against Dilshad, Rahul is a first-time offender, officials said.

“Suddenly, a bike came from behind on which two people were sitting and the pillion rider snatched the bag from my mother’s hand. She fell on the road and was injured. I informed my father who took my mother to a nearby hospital,” the FIR, accessed by TNIE, read.
As per the FIR, the judge’s handbag had around Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000 cash, apart from ATM cards and other important documents.
