Pune: For their heroic act, Commissioner of Police Meeran Borwankar felicitated 65-year-old Murlidhar Deshpande and auto rickshaw driver Umesh Suryawanshi at the police commissionerate.
"My wife and I went for a walk at 6 am and when we were in front of the Shaniwarwada, a youth came from behind and snatched my wife's gold chain worth Rs 1.75 lakh," Mr Deshpande said. "He started running away, but I gave chase and caught hold of him near Surya hospital."
Mr Deshpande said when he caught hold of the chain-snatcher, rickshaw driver Suryawanshi, who was standing next to his auto, helped him to restrain the accused.
"We're investigating whether Patole was involved in other chain-snatching cases," Senior Police Inspector Anant Rajeshirke of the Faraskhana police station said.
