NEW DELHI: A video has gone viral on social media, raising concerns about rising mobile robberies in the country, especially safety on public transportation, as it shows a thief snatching a young girl's mobile phone through a train window at night.
The shocking footage captures the incident in real-time, showing the thief hanging from the outside of the train while forcefully grabbing the girl’s phone.
Despite her frantic efforts to hold onto her device, the thief successfully snatched it away, making a swift getaway.
In the video, the girl can be heard pleading, "Chhod mera phone" (leave my phone), as the thief escapes into the darkness. Realising the gravity of the situation, once the thief is gone, she cries out, "Mera phone le gaya" (he took my phone).
The scene is particularly distressing as another girl seated across from the victim looks on in disbelief.
The footage has sparked outrage and discussions online, highlighting the vulnerabilities that commuters face while using public transport. Many viewers even expressed their concerns over the unsupervised use of mobile phones by kids.
