An interstate gang of thieves, including members from Uttar Pradesh, was recently apprehended in Assam’s Baitamari area of Bongaigaon district. The group had been causing chaos by targeting mobile towers for valuable equipment, including batteries and other key components. Their actions raised serious security concerns across the region.
On the night of the arrest, three individuals—Shakir Khan and Nabed from Uttar Pradesh, along with Mainur Ali from the local area—were caught red-handed attempting to steal a Radio Remote Unit (RRU) from a mobile tower in Nisha Kayethpara. The police seized not only the stolen equipment but also a luxury vehicle , which the gang had been using for their operations.
The police action follows a series of thefts in the area, where similar RRUs had been stolen from mobile towers in recent months. The authorities are continuing their investigation, with further developments expected as the case unfolds.
