Mobile phone snatchers robbed former union home secretary and former Rajasthan chief secretary Rajiv Mehrishi and snatched his mobile phone while he was cycling near the Rajasthan University in Jaipur.
Police said two motorcycle-borne assailants drove up to Mehrishi and snatched his mobile phone that was fixed on the handle of the cycle. Mehrishi informed about the incident to Jaipur after which an FIR was filed. Police went through the CCTV footage from cameras placed near the spot but have not been able to identify the miscreants.
Mehrishi, 65, is a 1978 batch IAS officer. He served as the union finance secretary before becoming home secretary. After retirement in 2017, he was appointed the Comptroller and Auditor General, ending his term in August 2020.
