In a gallant action, one of the female students tackled the thief and apprehended him alone. She began punching him with her sandals in the middle of the road, as people gathered and joined in punishing him.
The police were alerted in time and arrived on the scene to arrest the apprehended suspect. A search is ongoing for the second accused who ran away.
The courageous student's move has been welcomed by the local community and reflects the increasing boldness among citizens to stand up against street crimes.
