Speaking to mid-day, Subira's brother, Amar, said, "My sister was visiting me from Mumbai over the weekend. We had planned to go out for dinner in a restaurant in Koregaon Park. One of my friends who lives in Koregaon also accompanied us. After dinner, since my sister and I had come on a bike, Subira decided to walk my friend till her house and I drove ahead to her place. After some time, I received a call from my friend, who told me that two men on a motorbike had snatched my sister's purse and fled."
Police Inspector Subhash Anirudh, in-charge of Koregaon Park police station, said, "The incident took place around 11.45 pm on Sunday. Two men on a bike came from behind and snatched the woman's purse. We are trying to gather information about the suspects from eyewitnesses and scrutinising CCTV footage of the area."
