After the incident came to light, some persons on social media platforms even suspected the role of the police in the bike’s disappearance. The Khammam Rural police, who launched an investigation into the matter, arrested two persons on Wednesday.

ACP (Rural) Venkat Reddy said based on a tip-off, two habitual offenders, S Nageswar Rao and Venkatesh of Nachepalli in Nelakondapalli mandal, were questioned. The two confessed that they had stolen the bike from the police station and also they had lifted the same bike (latest model of Bajaj Pulsar) at Hayathnagar in Hyderabad in March.

The arrested are tractor drivers and used to visit the Mudigonda police station where tractors seized in illegal sand transportation cases are parked. During their visits to the police station, they spotted the bike and lifted it from the rear side of the station, the ACP said. The duo was also involved in two bike thefts at Boduppal and Vanasthalipuram police stations, he added.
