According to the police, financial pressure at home and the burden of loans allegedly drove Anita to plan the theft as a way to earn quick money. On Monday evening, she snatched chain from an elderly woman at Avanthi Nagar Thota Colony, when the latter was entering a lift in her apartment building.

Before the lift doors could close, the woman suddenly reached inside and attempted to pull off the mangalsutra and black-bead chain worn by the victim.
