A shocking incident has been reported at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal, where a man snatched a chain from a woman inside the lift of the hospital and escaped, a senior police officer said on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on Sunday and its CCTV footage surfaced on social media on Monday. The snatcher, wearing a face mask, can be seen entering the lift after the woman. Later, when the lift gate opened, the accused was seen snatching the chain and running towards the staircase in the CCTV footage.

After the incident, the woman approached the Bagsewania police station in the city to file a complaint. Acting on it, the police registered a case under relevant sections in the matter and began searching for the accused.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Addl. DCP, Zone 2) Gautam Solanki said, "A snatching incident occurred with a woman at AIIMS Bhopal under Bagsewaniya police station here. The accused is unidentified and he had covered his face with a mask at the time of the incident. He snatched a chain from the woman inside the lift and ran away."

"A case has been registered and investigation into the matter is underway. The police team has been searching for the accused and will be nabbed very soon," he added.

The officer further highlighted that several police teams were engaged in the investigation and they were checking the footage from CCTV cameras installed inside the AIIMS campus.

AIIMS is a secure campus, yet such an incident occurred here, resulting in police teams being continuously engaged in the probe and conducting further inquiries to trace the snatcher, the police said, adding that the accused will be traced as soon as possible. (ANI)
