For Bhavika Mehta and her family, a vacation to Punjab turned into an ordeal they will never forget. The 24-year-old had her purse pinched, and she had to get her left leg amputated after being injured while giving chase. Her father sustained a knee fracture and her brother hurt his leg. On top of this, they received absolutely no help from any government agency and had to pay Rs 1.40 lakh to a private ambulance to bring them back to Mumbai, a journey that lasted 4 days.
