Mumbai police have arrested an individual accused of stealing a motorcycle belonging to an Indian Navy petty officer within four hours of the complaint being lodged. The victim, Petty Officer Akhil Vijaychandran Krishnan, parked his Harley-Davidson motorcycle on September 19 outside an SBI ATM at Hutatma Chowk while withdrawing cash.
Krishnan, who was in a rush, left the bike's key in the ignition. Upon returning and finding the motorcycle missing, he filed a complaint with the Mata Ramabai Ambedkar Marg police station under Section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Assistant Police Inspector Jalindar Lembhe and the Crime Detection Team promptly investigated the scene and reviewed CCTV footage from nearby cameras. The police identified the accused, Kundan Lotan Shah, from the footage and traced him to Dongri. Shah, a native of Bihar, reportedly works at a paan stall and was allegedly under the influence of alcohol when he stole the motorcycle. He allegedly rode the bike around before returning to Mumbai and was arrested from Dongri. The stolen motorcycle was subsequently recovered.
