New Delhi: A Delhi court has upheld a
three-year jail term given to a 21-year-old man for snatching
a gold chain from the neck of a woman and said he doesn't
deserve any leniency as the offence was well "crafted".
Special judge Harish Dudani dismissed the appeal of west
Delhi resident Sonu, saying the offence he committed will
leave scars in the mind of the victim for years to come.
It had also sentenced him for two years of jail under
section 356 of IPC (Assault or criminal force in attempt to
commit theft of property carried by a person) and said the
sentences shall run concurrently.
According to the complaint, Sonu, along with an
accomplice came on a bike and snatched the gold chain of a
woman from Old Mahrauli Road.
