Shocking Viral Video: UP Woman Dragged On Street As Bikers Steal Her Purse

A troubling incident in Lucknow has reignited concerns over women’s safety and law enforcement in Uttar Pradesh. On November 29, a woman—reportedly the daughter of a police inspector—was attacked in broad daylight while on her way to her daughter's school. Biker miscreants snatched her purse and, in a terrifying turn, dragged her along the road before fleeing. The entire incident was captured by a nearby CCTV camera.

The victim, identified as Reena Chauhan, was left shaken but unharmed. The police filed a case, and an investigation is underway, with assurances of swift justice. However, the CCTV footage quickly gained attention after being shared online, with many questioning the state’s law and order situation.




The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @SachinGuptaUP, quickly went viral, garnering over 68K views. The post was captioned, “Reena Chauhan, daughter of an inspector in UP Police, was going to her daughter's school. A miscreant on a bike came from behind and snatched her purse. Reena was dragged on the road. This video is from Vikasnagar in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh.” One commented, “Even a policeman's child is not safe, and they claim to establish safety.” Another questioned, “She was dragged! Is she okay?” Many expressed relief that she survived the ordeal without serious injuries, but concerns about the response from law enforcement were raised.

People have urged the authorities, including @lkopolice and @adgzonelucknow, to take strict action. This incident highlights the urgent need for stronger measures to ensure safety for all, even in broad daylight.
