"When I was going to Lodhi Garden at around 7.10 AM, two unidentified men on a scooter snatched my gold chain and fled the spot within seconds," Datta said.
She reached gate number 4 of Lodhi Garden after the incident and made a PCR call.
"We have registered an FIR against the unidentified duo. We are also scanning footage of CCTVs installed in nearby area to identify the accused and investigation is on," a senior police official said.
