Hyderabad, July 13 (Maxim News) : The Hyderabad City Police’s Commissioner’s Task Force, Charminar Zone, in coordination with Gudimalkapur Police, arrested a habitual two wheeler theft offender and solved eight vehicle theft cases across Hyderabad and Malkajgiri Police Commissionerates. Police recovered seven stolen two wheelers and a mobile phone collectively valued at around Rs 10 lakh.
The arrested accused has been identified as Shams Bilal alias Bilal, 28, a car driver from Talab Katta in Hyderabad. Police said he has a long criminal history and was previously involved in 18 two wheeler theft cases. He had earlier been arrested by Chandrayangutta and Saidabad police in similar offences and was released after serving time in Chanchalguda Central Jail.
According to investigators, Bilal studied up to Class 10 before taking up driving jobs. However, he allegedly developed alcohol addiction and began stealing motorcycles to meet his financial and personal expenses. Even after returning to work as a car driver following his release from jail, police said he resumed vehicle thefts because of insufficient income.
Police said the accused primarily targeted motorcycles parked in public places and residential areas. He allegedly stole unattended vehicles and either used them personally or disposed of them for financial gain.
The arrest led to the detection of eight theft cases registered at Gudimalkapur, Chaitanyapuri, Panjagutta, Masab Tank, Malakpet, Afzalgunj, Mehdipatnam and Nampally police stations.
Police registered the cases under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The operation was carried out under the supervision of Inspector S. Saidababu of the Commissioner’s Task Force, Charminar Zone. The team included Sub Inspectors K. Rama Rao, M. Mahesh and M. Madhu, Police Constable T. Prashanth, Task Force personnel and Gudimalkapur Police staff.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Ande Srinivasa Rao commended the officers for successfully apprehending the accused and recovering the stolen property. (Maxim News)
