Delhi Teacher Fell From Auto, Dragged On Road Amid iPhone Snatching Bid

An auto-rickshaw rider who was allegedly trying to protect her mobile phone from motorcycle-borne snatchers caused her to fall, breaking her nose and injuring other portions of her body on Friday in Saket, south Delhi.

The victim, Yovika Chowdhary, is a teacher who works in Saket and resides in Neb Sarai in south Delhi. Around 3.15 pm, she was travelling back from school when the alleged crime took place.
