Delhi Police Arrest Chain Snatcher of MP in 48 Hours
A man named Sohan Rawat stole a gold chain from a Member of Parliament.
Police used security cameras to identify him.
He was caught quickly because he has a distinctive Shiva tattoo.
They found the stolen chain, two scooters, and phones.
Rawat has a long history of similar crimes.
While this case was solved quickly, some people think that regular snatching cases are not handled as well.
Sohan Rawat, with a history of 26 prior cases, was arrested for snatching a gold chain from Lok Sabha MP R Sudha.
The incident occurred near the Embassy of Poland in Chanakyapuri, Delhi.
Police used CCTV footage and tracked Rawat through his estranged wife and a friend.
Authorities recovered the stolen gold chain, two scooters, and four mobile phones.
