A court in Cuttack, Odisha, sentenced a man to seven years of rigorous imprisonment for snatching a gold chain of a woman police officer three years ago.
Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Assistant Sessions Judge Haraprasad Patnaik pronounced the jail term on Friday, after finding 23-year-old Siddheswar Kar guilty of committing the crime.
On August 13, 2016, motorcycle-borne Kar had snatched the gold chain of the police officer near a traffic signal, when she was travelling with another woman constable.
However, Kar was caught by bystanders while he was trying to flee.
