2 bike-borne men snatch mobile phone of woman journalist in Delhi's CR Park
New Delhi, Sep 24: A woman journalist was injured after she attempted to resist a snatching bid in south Delhi's CR park, police said on Monday.
The incident took place on Sunday evening while she was returning home in an autorickshaw, they said.
The woman works with a news organisation, police said.
In her complaint, the woman stated that after shopping in CR park, she was returning home in an autorickshaw when two men on motorcycle snatched her mobile phone. In the struggle, she fell from the autorickshaw while the men fled from the spot, a senior police officer said.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was given first aid and was taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre, the officer said.
A case was registered and special teams were formed to nab the culprits involved in the incident, the officer added.
"I had gone for shopping at CR Park and was returning around 6 pm in an autorickshaw when two men on a bike came close. Traffic was moving slow when the rider held my right hand and the pillion held my left hand and pulled me out of the moving auto, and in between the commotion, they took my phone and managed to escape," the woman said.
She said the local bystanders came to her rescue and the Delhi Police took her to the hospital.
"I am appalled. Where are the CCTV cameras? I was attacked in broad daylight. What if a speeding car would have hit me? Is this how unsafe the capital is," the woman added.

Dear Vaibhav, well done: Kohli''s message after Sooryavanshi blitz against RCB
Guwahati (PTI): For a young cricketer, a few words of praise from superstar Virat Kohli can feel like a standing ovation, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had his moment after yet another breathtaking performance in the IPL.
The 15-year-old continues to carve a fearless reputation, taking on the best with remarkable ease. Fresh from unsettling Jasprit Bumrah, he went after Australian quick Josh Hazlewood, smashing a stunning 78 off just 26 balls to steer Rajasthan Royals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru here on Friday.
After the match, Kohli signed the youngster’s cap and left a simple but special message: “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”
The innings also propelled Sooryavanshi to the top of the run charts this season, earning him the Orange Cap.
Rajasthan Royals stayed unbeaten with four wins in as many games, while the defending champions suffered their first loss of the campaign.
