A hospital staffer is fighting for her life after bike-borne chain snatchers trying to steal her purse dragged her along the road and grievously injured her. The incident took place off Eastern Express Highway near Ramabai Nagar, Ghatkopar East, on Sunday when the 52-year-old woman was walking to her workplace.

According to police sources, the accused first snatched Shahabai Ubale's mangalsutra. When they tried to snatch the purse, she held on to the purse while the accused had the handle in their hands. With the purse still clutched in her hands, the woman was dragged some distance by the bike. Finally, the purse's handle broke and the accused fled with just the mangal sutra.
