In a dramatic turn of events, Anand Kumar, a 43-year-old resident of Phase 2, Ram Darbar, was arrested for allegedly stealing a Tata Intra garbage truck belonging to the Municipal Corporation (MC) while it was under repair at an industrial area. The incident unfolded at Plot No. 114, Industrial Area Phase 2, around 11:20 AM, when the complainant, Kuldeep Singh, a driver for the MC, was overseeing the repair of the vehicle.
According to Singh, Kumar entered the truck, started it, and drove off despite Singh’s attempts to stop him. Singh immediately contacted his brother, Inderjit, and the two pursued the thief in a private vehicle. Their pursuit ended at Sector 42/43/52/53 chowk, where the pair successfully intercepted Kumar and recovered the stolen vehicle.
