Bengaluru: The Girinagar police are searching for two bike-borne assailants who allegedly attacked two women with machetes to snatch their gold chains. The incident occurred on Sunday at Eshwari Nagar, the police said.
According to the police, the two victims — both homemakers — were returning home after attending an orchestra. On their way back, the assailants, wearing helmets and riding a motorcycle, confronted them and demanded that they hand over the gold ornaments.
When they refused, the suspects swung a machete at them and fled after snatching chains weighing about 45 grams and 10 grams, respectively. One of the women suffered minor injuries to her fingers, the police said. A case has been registered, and an investigation is ongoing. The police are also scouring CCTV feeds.
