It was a scene straight out of a Bollywood thriller. Two youngsters helped a 65-year-old lady nab a chain snatcher after a 45-minute chase through narrow chawl lanes and thick bushes near Janakalyan Nagar of Malad.

The miscreant had snatched a gold chain from the senior citizen who was on her morning walk. After the gold chain was recovered from the chain snatcher, he was handed over to the police, but not before being thrashed by the senior citizen and other residents.
