Auto-lifter's gang busted, 3 arrested

Delhi Police today claimed to have busted a gang of auto-lifters active in Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh with the arrest of three persons, including two dental students.
The gang used to transport stolen vehicles to Manipur through Nagaland, police said.
The accused, identified as Hafiz Zakir Hussain (21), Akhtawar (22) and Kanta Singh (23), were arrested between July 5 and July 14, a senior police official said.
Hussain was the first to land in the police net and spilled the beans about his accomplices living in the hostel of a dental college in Bareily in UP. The students were later arrested during a raid at their hostel.

During interrogation, the trio told police that they were active in Delhi-NCR and UP for the past four months. They said that they have sent 10 stolen bikes from Delhi via Bareilly to Manipur and then to Dimapur in Nagaland, the official added.
