According to India TV, Sameer has filed a complaint about the incident. Katihar Railway SP Dr Sanjay Bharti gave a statement about the case and promised action against the culprits. According to Bharti, such incidents by phone-snatching gangs are on the rise. Their modus operandi is to scope out a person talking on his mobile, beat him and then snatch his phone. “More people are being identified in this matter, and full action will be taken. Once we are able to curb theft at all costs, only then we will understand that our efforts have been fruitful,” he added.
