New Delhi: A 25-year-old woman was stabbed to death in north-west Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar while trying to resist a snatching bid. She was coming home from a market and was carrying her 2-year-old child when the incident occurred.
The incident happened on Saturday night around 9.30 p.m. and the whole incident was caught in the CCTV camera installed on the road. Simran Kaur was returning home from the market with her mother and was carrying her child in her arms.
It was then a snatcher suddenly tried to snatch a chain she was wearing, but Simran resisted and caught hold of the snatcher. When the snatcher fell down, he stabbed the woman with a knife.
