According to SP Amo ” The team was led by SI N Nishant & H/C N J Rai, H/C S Lowang, Ct T Tani and Ct H Kumar. This case is an example of brilliant team coordination with Assam counterparts especially OC Daboka SI Manjit Terang whose coordination with other counterparts i.e. OC Kalgachia and IC Gerukabari compelled the lifters to leave the vehicle on NH 27 in abandoned condition”.
“This area is heaven for four wheeler lifters who commit offence and deliver the vehicle on Bangladesh side in a day. Our team caught the vehicle just 20 km far from Bangladesh boarder which means another 15 to 30 minutes late might have facilitated them to enter inside Bangladesh causing interruption in GPRS system and failure of entire mission, informed SP .
The Capital team was closely monitored & guided by SP, both ASPs, SDPO Itanagar and OC whole of the day. The Assam Police & APP are putting all out joint efforts to track and recover all such stolen vehicles.
