The entire incident was captured on CCTV, regarding how an assailant snatched a bag containing the cash and fled the scene.
They have been fully investigating with the Delhi Police into this incident by looking into surveillance footage to identify and capture the suspect. It has given rise to concerns among local traders and residents about how these issues would approve measures in security for commercial areas.
