My gold chain was snatched in Itanagar while walking on road what case to file

Detailed Legal Analysis

Chain snatching is punishable as robbery under Section 309 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and many states including Arunachal Pradesh have enacted specific chain snatching laws with enhanced penalties. You should immediately file an FIR at the nearest police station in Itanagar, describing the time, location, description of the offender, and details of the stolen property.

Provide any CCTV footage from nearby shops or homes as evidence. The police should register the case and begin investigation, and if they refuse, approach the Gauhati High Court under Arunachal Pradesh Rent Control Act 2017 for a writ of mandamus.
