"Of the recovered vehicles, 12 were handed over to Tamil Nadu police, while 100 belonged to owners from Bengaluru, Kolar, and Andhra Pradesh," an officer said.Babu followed a precise routine: he would take a night bus to Bengaluru, scout dimly lit residential areas with wide roads, and wait until dusk to strike.

A few quick wire adjustments, and the bike was his.By nightfall, he would ride the stolen bike back to Chittoor and sell it at rock-bottom prices—Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 for gearless scooters, Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 for motorbikes, and over Rs 30,000 for Bullets and brand-new models. Buyers, well aware of the lack of documents, had no qualms about the origins of their purchases.This was Babu’s first arrest in his three-year run, but police have ensured it will be his last—at least for now.Also read: Manav Sharma suicide case: Sister claims deceased TCS employee was provoked, wife could have saved him (WATCH)
