According to reports, Champalal placed the bag on the footboard or front area of his scooter before settling down to enjoy his kachori. Two men arrived on another scooter while he was eating. The pillion rider quickly grabbed the cash-filled bag, and the pair sped away.

Realising what had happened, Champalal immediately jumped up and ran after the suspects. In the CCTV footage, he can be seen chasing them on foot while continuing to hold his plate of kachoris. Some local residents also joined the pursuit, but the suspects managed to escape.

Police have registered a case at the Nahargarh police station following Champalal's complaint. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the two suspects, who were reportedly wearing helmets that made their faces difficult to recognise.

Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the suspects had not been identified in the reports published on October 27.

The incident has attracted attention online because of its striking contrast: a small snack stop ended with a major cash loss, while the man's snack-in-hand chase became the most memorable detail of the footage.
