Nazir Ahmad Dar Arrested in Baramulla Theft Case, Stolen Property Recovered

Nazir Ahmad Dar and accomplice arrested for copper theft in Baramulla

by Ananya Mehta

The Baramulla police have successfully cracked a major theft case, leading to the arrest of Nazir Ahmad Dar, a habitual thief, and the recovery of stolen copper coils and cables worth lakhs. The theft took place at the Mechanical Irrigation Subdivision Pattan, at the Lift Irrigation & De-Watering scheme structure in Gund Ibrahim during the night of March 10-11, 2025. The theft was reported by the Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) on March 15, prompting a swift investigation.

After reviewing evidence, the police focused on Nazir Ahmad Dar, a known thief from Hygam Sopore. Despite numerous raids, Dar evaded arrest for a period, strengthening suspicions of his involvement. However, a breakthrough came when intelligence inputs suggested Dar was traveling towards Mirgund in a Mahindra Bolero. The police set up a checkpoint at Diver Crossing and apprehended him along with his vehicle, which was also seized. Dar later confessed to the crime, revealing the location of the stolen copper coils, which were subsequently recovered.

In a separate case, on April 30, 2025, the police solved a theft case in Boniyar involving the illegal cutting and theft of poplar trees. Mohd Ramzan Parray, a resident of Pehlipora Boniyar, filed a complaint alleging the theft of his trees. After a detailed investigation, police arrested Mohd Maqbool Mir, a resident of Pehlipora, and his accomplice, Manzoor Ahmad Parray. Both men confessed to the theft, and the stolen poplar tree logs were recovered.

The police action in both cases underscores their commitment to resolving crimes and recovering stolen property, ensuring justice for the victims.
