A select team of city police personnel and a social activist on Sunday conducted a mock drill of a chain snatching incident to test the response of people and police to the incident. While a team of four police personnel acted as chain snatchers, social activist Shobhalatha Kateel, who has trained women in unarmed combat skills, played the role of the victim. Most of the police officers and police personnel were kept in dark about the mock drill. Except the chain snatchers and the victim involved in the drill, none knew that it was a mock exercise.
