It required more than 200 policemen to arrest a gang of six automobile thieves from a
village in Haryana. A Delhi Police team lay siege to a village in Palwal in Haryana and
caught the six men after a six-hour struggle.
The gang was involved in more than 100 vehicle thefts in and around Delhi. Those arrested
have been identified as Mohammad Anees (22), the gang leader, Sazid Hussain (25), Arif (19),
Mohd Arif (21), Mohd Arshad (22) and receiver of stolen vehicles Mohd Qayum (25). All belong
to the same village in Palwal.
"On November 23, Hussain and Arif were arrested from Khirki (a crowded neighbourhood in
Malviya Nagar, South Delhi) but Anees had managed to escape then," said H.G.S. Dhaliwal,
deputy commissioner of police (south). During interrogation, it was found that Anees
allegedly used to prepare the master keys with Arif's help.
"They used to sell a stolen motorcycle for Rs 2,000- 3,000 to some people in Mewat in
Haryana," the officer said. "It is very difficult to recover the stolen vehicles from Mewat
as there is a strong cooperation amongst local residents and anti-social elements."
Keeping in view the possible resistance and protest by the residents, a strong police team
consisting of more than 200 personnel was sent to arrest the remaining accused and to
recover the stolen vehicles on Friday night.
"All the exit and entry points leading to Kot village in Palwal district were manned in the
wee hours and Anees, Mohd Arif (key maker), Arshad and Mohd Qayum (Receiver) were arrested,"
Dhaliwal said.
With their arrests, 13 motorcycles and a bunch of master keys and 17 instruments/figure sets
used for changing the engine and chassis numbers were also recovered.
