In a major breakthrough, Basistha Police in Guwahati have dismantled the notorious nationwide ‘Tirchi Gang,’ arresting all five members responsible for a series of daring robberies across the city.
The gang, infamous for smashing the windows of parked vehicles and looting cash and valuables, had recently struck in Beltola and Basistha on June 12 and 17. Victims lost important documents and money in the incidents.
Acting swiftly on complaints, police conducted a coordinated operation and arrested the five culprits from multiple locations across Guwahati.
The arrested individuals are:
Vishal Naidu
Shankar Naidu
Karti Eramgam Naidu – all from Tamil Nadu
Kadribel Eramgam Naidu
Venkatesh Marna Naidu – both from Maharashtra
Authorities also recovered tools and items used in the break-ins, confirming their involvement in the crimes.
The crackdown brings relief to residents, ending the gang’s trail of fear and theft.
