The Story in Brief
Delhi Police arrested Gunasekar, 42, and Gokul M, 27, from Tiruchirappalli on August 5 over alleged thefts from parked cars in Delhi. Police recovered four laptops, three chargers and a mobile phone, linking them to four cases registered in Roop Nagar, Ashok Vihar and Govind Puri. The investigation began after an advocate reported an iPad and other valuables stolen from his car in Kamla Nagar on July 9.
Police allege the gang travelled by train from Tamil Nadu, broke car windows and avoided carrying mobile phones to evade tracking. The Times of India reports that members stayed in Delhi for nearly a month and travelled by buses at night, while India Today says they returned home after selling stolen goods. Police suspect Deepak alias Kartik led the gang and are searching for other members.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that an unemployed overseas returnee or a train-travelling gang explains every parked-car theft in Delhi. The evidence supports two arrests, four linked cases and recovered electronics, but not yet the wider claim that the group operated for years across several states. Police must establish that link in court, identify the alleged leader and recover more property. The number of confirmed cases, rather than speculation, will show the racket’s true reach.
