A video of a courageous 15-year-old girl Kusum Kumari who battled a cellphone snatcher in India's Jalandhar City is going viral on social media.
In the video, Kumari can be seen walking when a motorbike starts following her and the pillion rider grabs her hand and tries to snatch her phone. However she resists and grabs the accused's hand as well and follows him. After a while, she manages to grab him by his t-shirt and drags him off the bike.
Despite being physically assaulted by the snatcher, the girl did not let him go until a passerby came to her rescue.
