We have taken harsh action against chain snatchers, says commissioner of police

What steps are you taking to ensure that the crime rate does not increase again?
We are providing effective assistance to the prosecution to ensure more convictions of chain snatchers.

Is there any connection between drug addicts and chain snatchers?
We have no direct figures to establish this. However, with constant action against persons found with narcotics drug consumption, the figures of chain snatching have reduced to some extent.

There have been cases in which criminals from Thane and Navi Mumbai were involved in cases outside. How did you tackle it?
We worked in coordination with other police units and it has helped us in achieving the desired results.
