The cops were looking for Tanuj, a criminal arrested in the past but out on bail. There was a tip-off that he would come towards Nehru Place in a stolen car. The car was stolen from Faridabad,” said Romil Baaniya, deputy commissioner of police (southeast). “After his release from jail, Maheshwari stole over 100 cars in Delhi, Faridabad, Indirapuram, and Ghaziabad in seven months,” Baaniya said. The gang was part of a wider network that sold stolen cars, changing the engine and chassis numbers and repurposing the papers.
