A mobile snatcher was caught red-handed in Patna after he snatched a mobile phone from a passenger traveling in a moving e-rickshaw (Toto). The incident occurred in a busy area of the city when the passenger was riding in the e-rickshaw. Suddenly, a snatcher approached from behind, snatched the mobile phone from the passenger's hand, and attempted to flee.

However, due to the alertness of the passenger and bystanders, the snatcher's plan was foiled. Immediately after the incident, the passenger and other people chased the snatcher and apprehended him a short distance away. After being caught, he was handed over to the police.
