Bhubaneswar: A day after ornaments worth several lakhs were looted from a flat, a chain-snatcher-duo decamped with necklace of an elderly woman from Kalinga Vihar area in Bhubaneswar on Sunday morning.

The incident took place when the woman was walking towards her house after taking a walk in her colony in the morning. The entire act was caught on a CCTV camera installed in the locality.
