An aspiring actor who came to Mumbai hoping to find work in Bollywood was arrested by the Amboli Police after he allegedly snatched a gold chain from a paralysed elderly woman in Santacruz East. 

Police said they caught the accused, identified as 21-year-old Ashish Attarchand Sharma, within 24 hours of the incident which took place on Sunday. Sharma, a resident of Patna in Bihar, was driven by mounting debt, unemployment, and financial difficulties, said police.
