YAMUNANAGAR | PEN OF DEMOCRACY NEWS DESK
Police say the accused was traced after a tip-off and detained during a vehicle-checking operation in Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Jagadhri Workshop.
Police Act on Secret Information
The Anti-Vehicle Theft Cell of Yamunanagar Police has arrested a suspected motorcycle thief and recovered a stolen bike from his possession, police said. The accused was produced before a court and subsequently sent to judicial custody.
The action was carried out under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal, with the police continuing efforts to curb vehicle theft incidents across the district.
Anti-Vehicle Theft Cell in-charge Rajesh Kumar said his team received confidential information that a young man was allegedly moving around Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Jagadhri Workshop, on a stolen motorcycle. Acting on the information, a special police team was formed and a naka was established at a possible location.
After some time, police personnel noticed a motorcycle approaching. The rider was stopped and the vehicle was checked. Police said the documents produced for the motorcycle appeared suspicious.
During questioning, police allegedly found that the motorcycle had been stolen. According to the police, the accused admitted that he had stolen the motorcycle from Vivekanand Park in Sarojini Colony on August 5, 2024.
Accused Sent to Judicial Custody
Police identified the accused as Navneet Singh alias Ravi, son of Surender Singh, a resident of Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Jagadhri Workshop. The supplied police information also mentions Deepak, son of Vijay Singh, but does not clearly specify his role in the arrest; therefore, that detail has not been presented as a second arrested accused.
Police said the recovery could help in investigating vehicle theft incidents and establishing links, if any, with other cases. The accused was produced before the court following his arrest, and the court sent him to judicial custody.

The latest action followed a tip-off and subsequent vehicle checking at the reported location. The recovery of the motorcycle is being treated by police as an important development in the investigation. Further details regarding any possible connection with other vehicle theft cases will depend on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
