In a breakthrough operation, the Mankapur Police in Nagpur arrested two individuals on August 7, 2024, in connection with the theft of a motorcycle. The incident took place on the night of August 6, when Naved Ahmed, a 20-year-old resident, discovered his Splendor motorcycle (MH 31 FT 4283) had been stolen from outside his home in New Mankapur.
The police quickly acted on reliable information, setting up a trap near Jama Masjid, Mominpura, Nagpur. Their efforts led to the arrest of two suspects: Om alias Ravi Narendra Yede (19) and Aman Santosh Kalimati (23). During questioning, the suspects confessed to the theft of Naved Ahmed’s motorcycle, as well as their involvement in at least three other vehicle thefts across the Nandanvan, Koradi, and Hudkeshwar areas.
