Overview
- The CCTV that captured the assault on Wednesday shows two men on a motorcycle following Vijayamma before the pillion rider grabbed her, dragged her to the ground and fled with the mangalsutra.
- The victim, identified in reports as Vijayamma, is a milk vendor from Gangamahime Layout who suffered facial and neck injuries while resisting the attack.
- Video of the incident, which spread on social media, shows a stray dog rushing to the woman's aid but failing to stop the assailants.
- Peenya police have registered a case, are examining multiple CCTV feeds to identify the motorcycle and suspects, and say the stolen chain has not been recovered and no arrests have been reported so far.
- Reports differ on the chain’s weight and value (variously 15 grams valued at about ₹1.2 lakh or 25 grams), a detail that matters for recovery efforts and highlights the wider problem of two‑wheeler snatchings targeting early‑hour workers.
