Fined for his own stolen bike: 15 days on, owner waits, cops yet to act
It's been over 15 days since the incident.
The complainant, Iqbal Singh, a resident of Sector 56 and an employee at a private bank in Sector 29, reported that his Honda Livo motorcycle was stolen on the night of July 5. He had parked the bike outside his house along with other vehicles. The next morning, he discovered it missing.
Upon reviewing CCTV footage from the area, Singh found that two auto-lifters arrived on an Activa scooter around 1:19 am and stole his bike using duplicate keys.
He lodged an FIR at Sector 39 police station and submitted the footage to assist in the investigation.
On July 6, Singh received a traffic challan from Mohali police for helmetless riding, issued against his stolen motorcycle.
He later obtained additional CCTV footage from Kharar, showing two individuals riding his bike without helmets. This footage was also submitted to Sector 39 police.
Despite having visual evidence from both Mohali and Kharar, the suspects remain at large, and the stolen motorcycle has not been recovered. Singh expressed disappointment over the lack of action, stating that the police could have easily traced the culprits if they had shown seriousness in the case.
Police officials, however, claimed that the faces of the suspects are not clearly visible in either video, making identification difficult.

Punjab and Haryana HC grants bail to drugs case accused as Punjab Police miss chargesheet deadline
The Punjab and Haryana High Court Monday granted default bail to a man charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case, citing the prosecution's failure to file the chargesheet within the statutory period of 180 days. Chief Justice Sheel Nagu passed the order in a petition filed by Lakhbir Singh, who was arrested in connection with FIR No. 61 dated July 14, 2021, registered at the Khalra Police Station in Punjab's Tarn Taran district. Rejecting the Punjab Government's argument that the petitioner had criminal antecedents and multiple cases under the NDPC Act registered against him, Chief Justice noted, 'In the case of default bail, the Court cannot enter into allegations on merits'. The court ordered Lakhbir Singh's release on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 1,00,000 with one surety of the same amount, to the satisfaction of the illaqa or duty magistrate concerned. In a unique condition imposed along with the bail, the petitioner was directed to plant 10 saplings of indigenous species in a public place and submit photographic proof to the trial court within 15 days. Failure to do so, or submission of false proof, would entitle the State to move for cancellation of bail. While granting bail, the court kept the petition pending, and sought a report from the prosecution explaining why it failed to complete the investigation of such a serious offence within the stipulated timeframe. The case will be listed again on August 28 for compliance. Singh was charged under multiple stringent provisions — sections 21-C, 27-A, and 29 (relating to commercial quantity of drugs, financing drug trafficking, and criminal conspiracy) of the NDPS Act, sections 25, 27, and 30 (illegal possession and use of arms) of the Arms Act, and sections 212, 216, and 109 (harbouring offenders and abetment) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). According to the case details, Singh was arrested on September 6, 2024, and the prosecution filed the chargesheet on March 6, 2025 — one day beyond the 180-day limit mandated under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) for offences under the NDPS Act.
