Twins, who snatched a phone from a train commuter and in doing so inadvertently caused his death were nabbed. The man died under a train while attempting to chase them at Charni Road station on Sunday. One of the thieves snatched the phone and jumped off on to the platform. The man who lost his phone jumped off the train in a bid to chase the thief without realising that the train had already slipped out of the platform. He hit a wall, rebounded and came under the wheels of the train.

One would not like to compound the suffering of his near and dear ones. This is not to blame anybody but only to point to the wisdom of letting go. However precious the package or the commodity that is targetted by a thief, it is not more than your life and limb. We are not just referring to this incident, but taking a macro view of such cases.
