BHUBANESWAR: A girl on Sunday night successfully fought off three armed dacoits and foiled their bid to steal her gold chain, purse and mobile phone. She even overpowered one of the three miscreants and handed him over to the police.
At around 9 pm Chinmayi Bhuyan, a student of Utkal Karate School here in the city, was returning home on her scooty. On the way, three men stopped her and snatched away her mobile phone, purse and gold chain. Then the three thieves fled away on their bike.
Instead of losing courage, the girl chased them and caught hold of them near Unit Two Market. The culprits then attacked her in a bid to escape.
However, the girl used her martial art skills to defend herself. She even dealt serious blows to the three. While two of the miscreants fled the spot leaving their bike, Chinmayi managed to trap one with the help of the local people.
She also managed to recover her stolen items. Sources said the Bhubaneswar Commissionerate police has decided to felicitate her for her bravery.
