Teenage Bike Thief Caught Red-Handed by Ganeshpeth Police
Nagpur: A teenager, married at only 13 years of age, and already entrenched in a life of crime, was apprehended by Ganeshpeth police for masterminding multiple motorcycle thefts. Driven by the thrill of joyrides with friends and the lure of quick cash, the teenager earned notoriety as a prolific bike thief, keeping the city's police on high alert. The Ganeshpeth Police, led by senior inspector Machhindra Pandit, recovered five stolen motorcycles, abandoned across various locations after joyrides, following the suspect's rounding up on June 5. The action occurred when the police team, including head constable Sameer Shaikh and Vaibhav Jadhav — who had earlier nabbed the same teenager — spotted him acting suspiciously near a parking slot at Central Ganeshpeth bus stand. The case is now being probed by investigation officer, sub-inspector Malhari Doiphode. Caught preparing to steal another bike, the juvenile, identified as a child in conflict with law, confessed to stealing a black Honda CB Shine (MH 49 BJ 8039) from Bajeria. Further interrogation led to the recovery of four additional stolen motorcycles: a Hero Honda Splendor Plus, a Honda Splendor Plus, a Honda Splendor, and a Pulsar 220, collectively valued at approximately Rs1.85 lakh. The case originated from a complaint filed by Pravin Gaudiya, a 41-year-old Bajeria resident, who reported his Honda CB Shine missing on May 25. The theft occurred after Gaudiya parked and locked his motorcycle outside his home on May 24, only to find it gone the next morning. The Ganeshpeth police registered the case under Section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on June 6 and launched an investigation. The teenager's early marriage and exposure to criminal influences fuelled his descent into delinquency, said police. His passion for reckless rides and peer pressure played a significant role in his criminal activities. The police are now probing potential links to a larger theft network. The juvenile was handed over to authorities for proceedings under the Juvenile Justice Act. This case underscores the rising issue of juvenile crime in Nagpur, prompting calls for community intervention and stronger preventive measures.
