Man steals phone to make TikTok videos, arrested

A police officer investigating the matter confirmed that the iPhone XS Max seen in the TikTok video is the one he snatched from the complainant, Jatin Chhabra.

Singh said, “Chhabra filed a complaint at Preet Vihar police station, where he alleged he had put up an ad on an online portal to sell an iPhone XS Max and Nagar agreed to pay Rs 80,000. On June 12 at 6 pm, the two met near the Preet Vihar signal, where Nagar suddenly snatched the box containing the phone and charger, and ran away”.

Police said Nagar does not have a criminal record. “He had bought the KTM bike from a friend, and was paying a monthly installment. He badly wanted a good phone, but couldn’t pay, so he decided to snatch it instead,” said an officer.
