COMMANDOS AND ROBBERS IN ONE LIFETIME.......

It certainly takes all kinds to make this world; bandits, rapists, errant tycoons, honest and upright cops and last but not the least cops who venture out of their "home" cities on "secret and clandestine" missions especially those of the personally enriching kind.......
Mohammad Fakhruddin, a special commando from the Manipur police force had arrived in the national capital around 4 (four) days back on what was supposed to be a "secret" mission of the classified kind and was slated to enjoy a week long sojourn in the national capital on the same pretext.......
Alas, for him and his aides in arms alert and agile Delhi police sleuths blew the lid/cover off the purported "secret" mission by discovering that this mission was all about procuring (stealing) high end and high speed bikes from unsuspecting owners and transporting the same back to Manipur by any means possible as there was a thriving and flourishing market for these very same bikes in the north eastern state......
According to the investigating officer/s Fakhruddin had teamed up/joined forces with one Satyajit Sharma, a science graduate for putting their heinous plans into action; the duo only targeted "premium" high speed motorcycles whose market value was in the vicinity of Rs. 85,000/- and above as there was an inordinately high demand for the same in their native land......
The methodology employed by the duo was simple yet daring, they would initially carry out a detailed survey of their targeted areas during the day for two-three days before identifying the bikes that they planned to steal under the cover of darkness, they would then proceed to knock off one bike at a time and transport the same through railway parcels that were received by their accomplices at the other end of the line......
"four bikes have been recovered from the infamous duo thus far and during the course of their interrogation, they have revealed the fact that they used to receive Rs. 25-30,000 for every bike delivered safely", the investigating officer reveals.......
Fakhruddin is originally a commando who has a long standing association with the Indian Reserve Battalion ( a special force within the Manipur police ranks) who had arrived in the national capital for the first ever time while his accomplice and trusted aide Satyajit had been booked and arrested for similar misdemeanours/crimes on at least three separate occasions in the past.......
According to a passenger list received from the Northern Railway sources, Satyajit and Fakhruddin arrived in the national capital in the wee hours of March 20 and subsequently proceeded to successfully steal a high end/speed bike which was parked right outside the residence of a Manipuri official associated with the agriculture ministry......
"This bike was stolen just after the sun had gone down beyond the horzon on March 21 from South Delhi's R.K. Puram area (which is the chosen residential area of many a government servant) and were making arrangements for transporting the same to Manipur", the area's ACP said.......
"We managed to arrest them from their abode in South Delhi's Sunlight Colony which falls in the well known Ashram Chowk area, thanks to a timely tip off and recover four stolen bikes from their hideout", the Acp signs off.......
"A third accomplice however managed to flee from the spot a few minutes before the arresting police team arrived on the scene and we have launched a massive manhunt for him based upon the graphic and comprehensive physical description provided by his two arrested friends"........
"During the course of a rather lengthy and exhaustive interrogation the duo not only confessed to their crimes, but also shed light on their modus operandi which involved two-three days of scouting, identifying potential goodies, the transportation of the same to their home state and last but not the least fleeing from the city within a week or so so that the city's police could not identify and ensnare them", DCP (south east) P. Karunakaran said.......
"Lady luck however deserted them this time and we have sent a detailed report to our Manipuri counterparts detailing the number and nature of offences committed by their man on the spot and also demanded his immediate dismissal from the Manipur Police ranks" the DCP concludes........
One had heard about the archetypal policewallah being the most notorious goonda and crafty thief of them all; but this is the first time that one is seeing/witnessing a live demonstration/example of the dictum......
I for one, have always sought answers to the eternal conundrum about numerous people taking to crime despite knowing that their ultimate destination is either the jails or then the gallows as the case may be; people still continue to take to crime with renewed enthusiasm and a scarce/scant care about the ultimate outcome, I wonder why.......
