Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Task Force on Friday nabbed an inter-state gang involved in six automobile theft cases. Police recovered four cars worth Rs 18 lakh from them. The arrested were identified as Mohd Haseen (34), a car mechanic from Shamshabad and a native of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, K Sheshu Kumar (35) from Madhura Nagar Colony and Madhusudan (36), a realtor from Rallaguda. Mahboob and Abed, from Meerut, are absconding.

According to police, Haseen, Mahabub and Abed, all from Meerut along with Aslam, stole four cars in Delhi and by changing their vehicle registration numbers, sold them at cheap rates. Haseen and Mahabub were earlier arrested by the Delhi Police in 2019. They sold the stolen vehicles to Sheshu Kumar and Madhusudan, the dealers of used cars.

“In January, Haseen came to Hyderabad and hatched a plan to steal cars and make money by selling them for throwaway rates. They called other suspects — Mahabub and Abed from Meerut to come to Hyderabad. Since Haseen is a mechanic, he has the knowledge to unlock cars using tools,” said Anjani Kumar, Police Commissioner, Hyderabad. Based on a tip-off, the Task Force caught them and handed them over to the Kanchanbagh police for further action.
