How the Theft Operation Worked
According to ACP Ramana Goud of Narsingi, who held a press briefing on the matter, Srinivas would visit the RTO office and note down chassis numbers, registration details, and bike colors of newly registered vehicles. He then cloned similar-looking stolen bikes by forging documents such as RC cards and uploading fabricated details on the M-Wallet app.
Srinivas was assisted by an accomplice named Nagaraj, who was responsible for selling the stolen bikes using these forged documents.
