the convicts, who were on a bike, snatched the earrings of Lata on the morning of September 18, 2010, due to which her ears started bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>Both Ravinder and Harish were arrested immediately and charge sheeted for the offences under sections 356 (Assault or criminal force in attempt to commit theft of property carried by a person), 379 (punishment for theft) and
