Ahmedabad’s ‘ghost case’: Fugitive chain-snatcher caught after 34 years, but case in limbo as police lose files

Ahmedabad police arrested fugitive Ashok Thakor, a chain-snatcher on the run for 34 years, but face difficulties as case files are missing. Despite apprehending Thakor, who was living as a scrap dealer, there are no FIR or court documents to support the case, creating a legal challenge for the crime branch.
