2 Vidisha men arrested for vehicle lifting in Bhopal
The accused were found to be hiding stolen bikes in forest areas and selling them in rural regions after changing their number plates.
According to police, the arrests were made following a tip-off that two suspicious youths were roaming around the Karond vegetable market area on a motorcycle with no registration number, likely with the intent to commit theft. Acting on the information, a special police team conducted a cordon operation and detained the suspects.
The accused were identified as Zahid Khan and Shivraj Ahirwar, both residents of Vidisha. When asked for documents of the motorcycle, they failed to provide any. A verification through the VDP (Vehicle Data Portal) revealed that the bike was reported stolen nearly 10 months ago from Jail Road.
Subsequent interrogation revealed that the accused stole multiple bikes from various areas of Bhopal, including Nishatpura, Piplani, Teela Jamalpura, Gautam Nagar, Sukhi Sewania, Kolar, Eintkhedi, and Ashoka Garden.
The stolen vehicles were hidden in forest areas and used or sold after tampering with number plates.
Following the information provided by the accused, police teams recovered six bikes from the forests near a village in Shamshabad, Vidisha, and eight more from a house in a village under Tyonda police station in Vidisha district.
Police estimate the total value of the recovered 15 bikes to be approximately Rs10 lakh. Both accused are in custody, and further investigation is underway to identify possible buyers and any larger network involved in the thefts.

Gangster acquitted in murder case arrested for extortion
Nagpur: Roshan Mohite, who had been acquitted in the high-profile Sheetal Raut murder, was arrested on Thursday by Tehsil police for allegedly extorting Rs10 lakh from Mehul Advani, owner of a popular eatery. Mohite, along with three accomplices, was charged with extortion following Advani's complaint. Mohite, who worked for the sand mafia, was picked up following a swift operation led by senior inspector Shubhangi Deshmukh.
