A shocking video shows the moment a gang carries out a robbery after sprinkling itching powder on their victim.
Viral images show the work of Khujli Gang, also known as ‘Itch Gang’, in Sadar Bazaar, Delhi, India.
A man carrying a bag, who was targeted by the gang, was filmed entering a store.
He looks extremely uncomfortable and starts scratching frantically all over his neck.
A man can be seen choking after being attacked by the Khujli gang, who get their name because of their bizarre methods.
The victim can be seen leaving her bag on the floor to attend to her unstoppable itch.
Two members of the Itch gang enter the store and immediately spot the victim’s purse.
But he can’t relieve the itch and takes off his shirt and leaves the bag on the floor.
While he is distracted, gang members are seen entering the store.
One of the gang members walks around nonchalantly, pretending to be shopping before grabbing the bag and quickly walking away.
The robbery was incredibly simple and effortless, but moments later the victim returns and realizes that her bag has disappeared.
The gang has become infamous in India and images of their crimes have gone viral.
In another video showing the Itch Gang’s work, a man stands next to his car on the side of a busy road.
A gang member casually walks by pretending to be shopping before snatching the bag and walking away.
The victim returned to find her purse missing. She had only been gone a few seconds.
The victim and the store owner leave the store and frantically search for the stolen black bag.
Suddenly it starts to itch and it seems so intense that he leaves a bag to take off his shirt and scratch his entire body.
But gang members are seen lurking nearby and when the moment is right, they brazenly steal the victim’s bag right from under their noses.
When the itching stops, the victim looks around in panic as she realizes her purse is missing.
Delhi Police are investigating the crimes and are urging the public to report any suspicious activity.
