INTRODUCTION:-

Crime Branch of Delhi Police has busted a gang of truck lifters, infamous as Mama Bhanja gang. One truck stolen from Alwar, Rajasthan has been recovered from their possession while on the bid to sale.

INFORMATION, TEAM & OPERATION:-

On 19.08.13, an input was received that two persons of ‘Mama Bhanja gang’ would come near B-2 Party Hall, Britania Chowk, Delhi to sale the truck stolen from Alwar, Rajasthan.

Immediately, a team led by Inspr Jitender Singh and consisting of SIs Gurmeet Singh, Vineet Kumar, HCs Mohd Abrar, Rajeev and Cts Virender and Rampal was formed to work on the information and nab the culprits, under the close supervision of ACP KPS Malhotra and over all guidance of DCP Crime (North) Kumar Gyanesh.

On a specific input, a trap was laid near Britania Chowk, B-2 Part Hall and two persons were apprehended on the instance of informer and were identified as Mohar Singh s/o Gurdeep Singh and Amrik Singh s/o Late Swaran Singh.

INTERROGATION & MODUS OPERANDI:-

They were put to sustained interrogation and were identified as Mohar Singh s/o Gurdeep Singh r/o 6/25 Gali No. 14 Swarup Nagar, Delhi Age 33 years and Amrik Singh s/o Late Swaran Singh r/o Ranjeet Vihar, Chander Vihar, Nihal Vihar, Delhi age 31 years. Mohar Singh is maternal uncle of Amrik Singh and both hail from Alwar, Rajasthan. One of their associate Gurbaksh Singh r/o Alwar, Rajasthan, is on the run and a team has been sent to track him down at the earliest.

Mohar Singh, a truck mechanic by profession, was caught in 2010 in a truck robbery at Samay Pur Badli and thereafter he shifted his base from Delhi to Bilaspur, Rajasthan. Amrik Singh used to steal motorcycles and was arrested earlier in more than 10 cases of Delhi. Thereafter, both planned to earn easy money in one go, hence they targeted the trucks instead of small vehicles, because the small cars and two wheelers are taken by the receivers at a very low cost of 5 to 10 thousand per vehicle whole truck is sold between 2-5 lac as per the condition.

They used to target the trucks parked in the industrial areas. They break open the window grills of the truck and start with the simple master key obtained by Amrik Singh. For this purpose, Amrik

Singh always keeps certain master keys and necessary tools with him. Amrik Singh is also an expert in making duplicate keys of any kind of Truck. The heavy vehicles are not computerized and can be easily revved. He prepares duplicate keys for the targeted vehicles on the spot and steals the vehicle very quickly. The stolen trucks are sold to their contacts in Delhi.

Another reason why they target the heavy vehicles is because the police at the pickets mostly checks cars and motorcycles and they can easily slip away due to this.

RECOVERY:-One Tata truck bearing registration no. RJ 02 G 6498.
