ReplyDeleteAuto theft: Pyar ka super-hit formula
ReplyDeleteChori Karega ? Karega . Love Keliye Saala Kuch Bhi Karega . Yes, the Hyderabadi youth now not only steals
heart of the beloved but also steals two-wheelers to keep the relationship alive and kicking.
Be it in the case of 24-yr-old G Satyanarayana, arrested on November 5 by the Gandhinagar Police, who stole two-wheelers to support his girlfriend's education, or 19-year-old vehicle lifter Y Anji Reddy, arrested by the Marredpally police on November 21, who wanted money to meet his girlfriend's expenses, cupid and crime now go hand in hand. And vehicle lifting is now pyar ka super-hit formula in Hyderabad.
Riasat Ali Khan, inspector at the auto theft wing of Central Crime Station's detective department, says, "This is a disturbing trend. Earlier the youth used to go for joy rides - almost 20 per cent of all the auto theft cases reported in the city belong to this category - on stolen vehicles but now they have now graduated to becoming professional thieves as it gives them easy money. One doesn't need to be an expert to break the lock of two-wheelers. Sometimes people forget to lock their vehicles also."
According to detective department sleuths in almost all the two-wheeler theft cases – around 1000 in a year – men in the 20-25 years age group commit the crime. And in most of the cases love plays a big role.
"They sell these vehicles without papers, take the advance of Rs 4,000 - Rs 8,000 and then vanish. Unfortunately, in the city money is now a big factor in love. When we catch first-timers, we give them warning and help them in getting a lawyer, but seasoned offenders are harshly dealt with," adds Khan.
But auto theft is just one of the many crimes that the youth are committing to support their love life.
"Earlier also crime was committed because of love reasons but now the financial needs have gained prominence. Stealing two-wheelers is an easy way out. Once they successfully steal a vehicle, their confidence grows," says K Narasimha Murthy, DCP DD-I.
Some of the cops also feel that, with the city now having a lot of night joints like pubs and discos, the youth are forced to adhere to an expensive lifestyle.
"It hasn't helped the cause. They are all expensive places," adds Murthy.
So all you guys out there, who love to flaunt their two-wheelers, be careful. Lovers, or should we call them thieves, are on the prowl and for them all is fair in love and war.
