2 Vidisha men arrested for vehicle lifting in Bhopal
The accused were found to be hiding stolen bikes in forest areas and selling them in rural regions after changing their number plates.
According to police, the arrests were made following a tip-off that two suspicious youths were roaming around the Karond vegetable market area on a motorcycle with no registration number, likely with the intent to commit theft. Acting on the information, a special police team conducted a cordon operation and detained the suspects.
The accused were identified as Zahid Khan and Shivraj Ahirwar, both residents of Vidisha. When asked for documents of the motorcycle, they failed to provide any. A verification through the VDP (Vehicle Data Portal) revealed that the bike was reported stolen nearly 10 months ago from Jail Road.
Subsequent interrogation revealed that the accused stole multiple bikes from various areas of Bhopal, including Nishatpura, Piplani, Teela Jamalpura, Gautam Nagar, Sukhi Sewania, Kolar, Eintkhedi, and Ashoka Garden.
The stolen vehicles were hidden in forest areas and used or sold after tampering with number plates.
Following the information provided by the accused, police teams recovered six bikes from the forests near a village in Shamshabad, Vidisha, and eight more from a house in a village under Tyonda police station in Vidisha district.
Police estimate the total value of the recovered 15 bikes to be approximately Rs10 lakh. Both accused are in custody, and further investigation is underway to identify possible buyers and any larger network involved in the thefts.

I-T dept finds under-reporting of real estate transactions in Nagpur
Nagpur: The income tax department has found gross under-reporting of real estate transactions in yet another sub-registrar office (SRO), this time in Nagpur. An earlier scrutiny had revealed that property registrations worth close to Rs1,000 crore were not reported to the department by the SRO Hingna. Gross under-reporting has now been detected in SRO-7, which covers areas under Nagpur city. Primary investigations showed that deals worth close to Rs500 crore were not reported by the SRO. The investigations are continuing. The action was taken by the income tax's Intelligence and Criminal Investigation (I&CI) wing, which also oversees reporting under the Statement of Financial Transaction (SFT) by various agencies. An initial probe into the returns based on the findings showed a number of individuals who reported income running up to Rs10 to 20 lakh a year, purchased properties running into tens of crores. The money for the purchases was shown as unsecured loans, said sources. In a number of cases, capital gains were not paid by the sellers of properties. Any registration of a property worth over Rs30 lakh has to be reported under SFT. This helps the taxman keep tabs on deals that may not have been reported in the tax returns. Sources say some of the deals not reported by the SRO include those by some prominent persons in the city. A similar under-reporting was unearthed in Malkapur tehsil of Buldhana too.
