The Police Commissioner,
Mall Road, Shimla.
26th November 2020.

Sir

Subject - Increasing cases of chain snatching.

I would like to draw the attention of the authorities towards the increasing cases of chain snatching in my area. There has been a remarkable increase in the number of such cases in the past two months.
The street number 10,11 and 12 are not equipped with street lights which causes darkness and hence makes it easier for the culprits to commit this crime.

There is a suspected gang which has been identified by various victims of chain snatching. They have also complained about them to the local police, but no prominent action has been taken yet. This has encouraged the gang and such incidents have become a normal thing to take place.

I request you to look into this matter personally and help us the residents to lead a safe and sound life. I hope you will understand our problem and act to it immediately.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Hitesh.
