Absurd robbery - Leaning and chewing off gold chain

During the journey, she noticed a woman seated behind her, who appeared to be leaning against her as if asleep.?
However, it soon became apparent that the woman, identified as 28-year-old Nisha from Pune, was not asleep but rather engaging in a deceptive act.
Nisha, known to be a habitual offender in robbery incidents, attempted to discreetly remove Sargunam's gold necklace by chewing it, while pretending to lean on her.?
Sensing the tugging on her necklace, Sargunam quickly realised the situation and raised an alarm, shouting for help.?

Mumbai was the city with the second highest number of reported robberies, with 1,036 cases reported in that year.
In fact, robbery is the second most common crime in India, following theft.
But according to the latest crime rate report of India in 2024 as quoted by Adda247, there has been a marginal decrease of 0.56% in the overall crime rate compared to the previous year.
