The Mysuru City police have apprehended a 41-year-old man, Srinivasa, from Nilivadi village in Periyapatna taluk, for his involvement in stealing and selling 33 two-wheelers worth around ₹15 lakh. The arrest took place on August 14 when Srinivasa tried to sell a stolen vehicle at a discounted price. The vehicle he attempted to sell had been stolen from the K. R.
