Cuttack: A court here sentenced a man to seven years rigorous imprisonment for snatching a gold chain of a woman police officer three years ago.
Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Assistant Sessions Judge Haraprasad Patnaik pronounced the jail term Friday, after finding 23-year-old Siddheswar Kar guilty of committing the crime.
A motorcycle-borne man, Kar, had snatched the gold chain of the police officer near a traffic signal, when she was travelling with another woman constable on a moped in the city August 13, 2016, according to the prosecution.
However, Kar was caught by bystanders while he was trying to flee.
