In the process, she lost control of her vehicle, which hit the road median. The woman fell down and sustained injuries to her hands and leg.

The passerby who saw the accident rushed to Rajila’s aid and moved her to the Government Royapettah Hospital for treatment. The woman told the police that she could not get a good look at the snatcher's face, as he was wearing a helmet.

Based on her complaint, the police have registered a case and have launched a search for the suspect.
