One of the two snatchers was floored by the Japanese students, one of who was a martial arts specialist. The other criminal ran away.
A crowd which quickly collected outside the railway station was ready to lynch the fallen criminal but timely arrival of the police saved his life.

Hurt, they said in front of the crowd that they never return to India.
The two came to India on March 14. After touring Delhi and Jaipur, they reached Agra on Monday morning. They saw the Taj and the Agra Fort before reaching the railway station to board the Marudhar Express.
