New Delhi: They came to Tihar Jail to fight
shoulder to shoulder with an elderly anti-corruption crusader
but fell victims to pick-pockets!
A number of Anna Hazare supporters gathered outside Tihar
Jail were in for a rude shock on Thursday as criminals picked their
pockets leaving them with no money to return home or buy food.
As Hazare supporters gathered outside the prison complex
in west Delhi in hordes, pickpockets joined the gathering
posing as anti-corruption protesters and made many people
their victims.
A number of complaints poured in forcing the Hazare
followers to announce through loud speakers advising the
gathering to be careful about their belongings.
"Please take care of your pockets as too many complaints
of pickpocketing have come since morning," said the announcer.
