Nullah: Man pushes 68-year-old woman into nullah to rob her chain, anklets in Jaipur | Jaipur News
JAIPUR: In a brazen loot, an unidentified man pushed an elderly woman into a nullah and robbed her jewellery in Vidhyadhar Nagar on Wednesday morning.
Gulab Devi (68) was fished out from the Amanishah Nullah in the afternoon and taken to hospital.
A resident of Pratap Nagar under the Bhatta Basti police station area, she was travelling early morning from her house to visit a temple as part of her daily routine. A person saw that she was wearing chains, anklets and earrings and waylaid her near Ambabari, police said.
The man then threw the women into the nullah. “She rolled down about 15 feet and got stuck on a slope. The accused also clambered down and robbed her jewellery,” said an official. Police said the woman’s family searched around for her and later approached the police when they could not find any clue of her.
Some people then saw an elderly woman seeking help from the nullah. They alerted police about it and she was taken out and rushed to a hospital. “Her condition is stable. She has sustained some injuries as she rolled down the slope,” an official said.
Vidhyadhar Nagar police station has filed an FIR. “We are actively looking for the suspect behind the attack. We are examining CCTVs of the nearby areas to understand the movement of the accused,” the official added.
The robbery has sparked fresh fears about street crime in the city. “We suspect that some drug addict may have been behind the incident. We are speaking to people who deal in purchasing old jewellery to find details about the accused,” the official added.
Three different teams from Vidhyadhar Nagar police station fanned out in over a dozen locations in nearby areas of the nullah.
