Now an incident of 10 years jail for robbing Rs 500 in 2017. The incident happened in Gurugram area. More than a year after allegedly attacking a factory worker in Manesar and robbing him of Rs 500, the accused — Anoop Sharma (28) and Kuldeep (22) — received 10-year jail terms, along with a fine of Rs 25,000 each from a district and sessions court. The incident took place around 1.15am on July 23, 2017, when Rajesh Singh, a resident of Bas Kushla Colony, was returning home after work from his factory in Manesar. Anoop and Kuldeep intercepted him near Bas Gaon Chowk and forcefully snatched Rs 500 in cash and his voter ID card. The duo had also thrashed Rajesh with sticks in order to snatch the money. Relevantly, Haryana was the first state to introduce strict laws against snatchers in 2015. The state added two new clauses — 379A and 379B — to the existing Section 379 (theft) of IPC and defined snatching as a non-bailable crime.
