Police Team Acts on Specific Information
Anti-Vehicle Theft Cell in-charge Rajesh Kumar said the team had received confidential information that a young man was allegedly moving around the Chauli village area near Bilaspur on a stolen motorcycle.
Acting on the information, a special police team comprising ASI Anil, Husn, constables Yogesh, Sumit, Sandeep and Hardeep was constituted. The team reached the suspected location and established a checkpoint to conduct intensive vehicle checking.
