Mysuru, July 24 -- Accused arrested

At a time when the Police are often accused of failing to act promptly on oral or written complaints or delaying the registration of FIRs, Mandi Mohalla Police recovered a doctor's stolen motorcycle even before a formal complaint was lodged.

The unusual case came to light on July 21, 2026, when the Police themselves called the doctor to inform him that his motorcycle, stolen on Dec. 20, 2025, had been recovered. Following the recovery and the arrest of the accused, an FIR was registered in the case.

The recovery also led the Police to trace four other stolen bikes, taking the total number of vehicles recovered from the accused to five, worth about Rs. 2.5 lakh.
