Imphal, February 15 2015:
An alleged vehicle lifter was reportedly apprehended along with a stolen Honda Activa scooter (MN-06SA/7235) at Keirao Mayai Leikai, Imphal East district under Irilbung police station last night.
Narrating the incident to a team of media persons this morning, AITC State unit vice-president MI Khan said than a man riding a Honda Activa abandoned his scooter and ran away on seeing his vehicle (Gypsy).
He said that he was returning home after visiting a sick person.
The man mistook the Gypsy for a police vehicle and ran away.
But MI Khan chased and caught the man.
The man who identified himself as Md Serajur (35) s/o Seraj Ahmad from Lilong Haoreibi reportedly confessed that he lifted the Honda Activa from Pangei area.
Soon a crowd gathered and started thrashing Md Serajur.
However, he somehow managed to jump into Iril river and disappeared, MI Khan recounted.
"The Honda Activa thus recovered can be claimed by the owner by producing genuine documents and evidence either from me or Irilbung police station", MI Khan added.
