Niti Vihar Police Crack Dumper Truck Theft Case; Vehicle Recovered, Two Arrested
Itanagar, July 30: Niti Vihar Police have successfully solved a Dumper Truck theft case that initially appeared to be clueless, leading to the recovery of the stolen vehicle and the arrest of two accused.
The case was reported on July 22, 2025, by Shri Nangram Kali (45) and Shri Tophik Khan (33), both residents of Senki Park, Itanagar. They informed police about the theft of a Dumper Truck (Reg. No. AR 01L 2528, TATA LPK 1618 CRE BS-IV), which had been parked unused near the CRPF Camp, Senki Park. Despite efforts to locate it, the vehicle remained untraceable. The theft is believed to have occurred between June 10 and July 10, 2025.
Based on the FIR, a case (Niti Vihar PS Case No. 27/25 under Section 305(b) BNS) was registered and assigned to SI Tejab Tadar for investigation. A special team led by Inspector Takhe Tasso (OC, Niti Vihar PS), SI Tejab Tadar, ASI D. Gupta, Ct. M. Kojing, and Ct. J. Romin, under the supervision of SDPO Itanagar Shri Kengo Dirchi, was formed.
The team zeroed in on a group of 5–6 suspects with prior knowledge of the vehicle's location and GPS system. A breakthrough came with the detention of a former employee of the complainant from Dejoo in Assam's Lakhimpur district.
This led to the recovery of the stolen vehicle from the remote Damin area in Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district. Two individuals were arrested:
1. Shri Amjad Ali (27), S/o Shri Somor Ali, Silonibari Village, Lakhimpur, Assam
2. Md. Esamuddin (33), S/o Shri Abdul Hamid, Dejoo Village, Lakhimpur, Assam.
Further investigation is ongoing to apprehend other suspects involved.
