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.

According to Chowdhary’s police complaint, she was walking through Khokha Market in Saket after boarding an autorickshaw outside PVR when two males on a Honda Spledour motorcycle came up from behind and attempted to take her iPhone 13 from her hand.
