Chain snatching cases in Pune city have made people very scared. Bad people are stealing gold chains from different places like jewelry shops, temples, and roads. To stop these thieves, police have put more officers on the streets and installed cameras in places where thieves usually strike.

Even temples aren’t safe anymore. At the famous Dagdusheth Ganpati Temple, two women were caught stealing a gold chain worth Rs 40,000 from a person who was standing in line for darshan. Police caught these women, which shows that thieves are now targeting holy places that people thought were safe.
