In the CCTV footage uploaded on X by Delhi-based journalist Lavely Bakshi, the visuals show scenes from inside of a moving DTC bus. As the video goes forward, the bus is seen taking a halt at a bus stop. Few women and a man seen wearing a t-shirt board the bus from a stop.
Within moments, the young man is seen snatching the phone of a woman seated on a seat near the 801 bus door. He immediately jumps from the moving bus before anybody could react to what happened there and the doors getting shut. The shocked woman who faced the phone theft immediately gets up from her seat and jumps off the bus in an attempt to grab the thief.
