Recently, the mobile phone of the French Ambassador to India, Thierry Mathou, was stolen during the Diwali rush at Delhi’s Chandni Chowk market. The incident reportedly took place near the Jain Temple at around 03:20 pm on October 20 when the ambassador was visiting a busy market without security.
Although the Delhi Police has high security measures in this market, Chandni Chowk is known for frequent thefts due to the heavy footfall it receives. The police installed loud sirens in their cars to remind people to take care of their property because of the frequent thefts.
