GUWAHATI: In a swift and efficient operation, an East Guwahati Police District (EGPD) team from Basistha Police Station successfully recovered a stolen scooty (AS01EX1673) within 24 hours of its theft from Khanapara.
Acting on specific inputs, the police traced the stolen vehicle to Jogdol in Sonapur. Following a coordinated search operation, two suspects—Mondip Konwar alias Rohan (24) and Damun Rabha alias Babu alias Dingkol (30)—were apprehended in connection with the theft.
The recovered scooty is now in the custody of the police, and legal action has started against the accused. Officers said they are investigating further to see if the arrested people are involved in other vehicle thefts in the city.
Meanwhile, earlier last month, the East Guwahati Police Department team from Bhagaduttapur Outpost under Dispur Police Station had caught a thief during a checkpoint in Kahilipara. The thief, Biswajit Basfor (26) from Jatia, had been found with a stolen iPad. The stolen item had been recovered, and legal proceedings had been initiated. Further investigations were underway to ascertain the accused's involvement in other criminal activities.
In a similar incident, a notorious thief had escaped from the Kokila Police Outpost in Assam’s Bongaigaon district, showing a serious lapse in police security. The thief, identified as Monirul Islam, had been first arrested on January 15 for trying to steal in Kokila Second Block. A case had been filed against him the following day, and he had been sent to judicial custody.
