The Mahim police have arrested two members of a gang of chain snatchers, who regularly went to the Mahim dargah after the crime, in gratitude. The police also found out that their modus operandi, unlike others of their tribe, was not to flee the city after committing the crime, but to change their get-up, until they could strike again.
