A mother-daughter duo fell victim to bike-borne thieves who snatched Rs 50,000 cash from them while they were engaged in wedding shopping last week in Jaipur. Not exactly snatching, but they stumbled upon the money lying on a busy road while riding a stolen bike in a crazy coincidence.
The shocking incident happened when the mother and daughter were out shopping in the Barkat Nagar area. While they were walking through the crowded market, the mother unfolded a jacket to wear, and the bundle of cash fell out unnoticed.
The thieves, identified as Lokesh alias Chhotu and Alok, spotted the money, grabbed it and fled the scene. They were reportedly watching from a distance and quickly pounced on the opportunity.

"Stealing is wrong but, how can one be so careless with money, man if I'm losing even 10rs I'm gonna tear out everything to look for it," another user wrote.
