In Georai, a group of vigilant villagers and the local police successfully thwarted an attempt by an inter-district gang to steal goats in the dead of night. The incident unfolded around 1am on September 28 at Belgaon Cross Road. A local farmer awoke to the distressed bleating of his goats, spotted the suspects loading the animals into a white Maruti Suzuki Swift, and alerted his relatives.
The suspects, aware of their pursuit, attempted to flee the scene, but their car collided with an oncoming Toyota Fortuner, severely damaging both vehicles. Two suspects escaped the crash, while Rahul Vasant Gade, identified as one of the accomplices, was apprehended nearby. The remaining suspects, having removed their registration plates and dressed in black, fled the area.
Police recovered three goats and the damaged vehicle, valued at ₹4.45 lakh, and registered a case under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A manhunt is ongoing for the two suspects who fled the scene.
