INTERROGATION :
During interrogation, it was revealed that the four Manipuri young men had come to Delhi in search of jobs. Interestingly, one of them, Sanathomba Singh is well educated and has done MBA (HR) from a prestigious University in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. He has worked with Bank of America at Gurgaon and also with an MNC at Noida, UP, as Human Resource Manager. On interrogation, he revealed that while working, he noticed that his friends were enjoying their life pretty well by earning huge money from stolen vehicles and always remains free whereas he gets only one day off while working in long shifts throughout the week. After his arrest for the first time, his sister got married in a well to do family of Manipur. His girlfriend was working as Nurse in a reputed hospital at Noida. They persuaded him to mend his ways but taste of easy money again brought him in the world of crime after he got released from jail in the last week of Feb. 2013. He is very fond of tattoos.
The other accused Ravi Masarur has good knowledge of bikes and he used to perform bike stunts for advertising agencies. He is pursuing his graduation in Bio-Chem. Science from a prestigious university in Manipur. He is very fond of tattoos.
Another accused Amir Hussain is the computer expert who prepares fake Registration Certificates of the stolen motorcycles. He is also Graduate and has studied Computer Hardware & Networking and Desk Top Printing. He used to get Rs. 2 to 5 thousand for each fake RC. The fourth member Asem Kanta Singh is also pursuing his Diploma in Computer Hardware & Networking in Delhi. He worked with Sanathomba for breaking locks of the bikes and driving them after stealing. He is also very fond of tattoos.
In order to make quick money, they got together and planned to steal vehicles. Ravi, one of the three boys arrested got these boys together and planned their modus operandi. During the day time, they would conduct reconnaissance in various areas in different parts of Delhi and identify the vehicles which they can steal easily later in the night. They would then start their operations in the early morning hours. One of them would break the locks of the bikes, while the others would keep close watch in the surrounds. The accused also had a workshop of sorts at their residence. Here they would change the number plate of the stolen vehicle and then create a fake registration certificate having the altered registration number of Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh and Uttar Pradesh Transport authority. They would retain the original engine and chassis number to prevent the vehicle from being identified as stolen.
Once the vehicles are stolen and all this fake documentation work was completed, they would take the stolen vehicle by road to Meerut, where the same would be received by one Mr. Abu Hassan, who belongs to Manipuri and residing at Meerut. Abu would then send these vehicles by train to Manipur. Abu would pay them Rs. 40,000/- for a Bajaj Pulsar Motorcycle and Rs. 60000/- for a Yamaha R-15 bike. 9 such stolen vehicles were recovered from various parts of Delhi which had fake number plates and whose fake documentation was not yet complete.
K Sanatomba and Rabi Masrur were also arrested in Oct 2012 by South District along with two others and 11 stolen motorcycles were recovered from them.
