Umesh Satardekar

Chasing a chain snatcher could have ended in death for GRP constable Umesh Satardekar, 43, had he not turned around in time. But his near-fatal experience led to the arrest of the snatcher and his associate. The incident occurred on April 23, when Satardekar along with assistant sub-inspector Ashok Palande and constable Kailash Shahane was on crowd-control duty on Jogeshwari foot overbridge. Satardekar spotted a mobile snatcher on a station platform.
