Man held for stealing bike
The police arrested a 20-year-old man for allegedly stealing a motorcycle to give a joyride to his newly-wed wife, officials said on Friday.
The accused, Qamar Alam of Aman Colony in Ghaziabad, told the police that he committed the act because his wife was insisting on going on a ride on a two-wheeler, they said.
“The accused worked as a labourer at a factory in Loni. While returning home from the Kashmere Gate ISBT on May 15, he noticed that motorcycles were parked near Gate No. 3 of the Civil Lines Metro station. Using a duplicate key he was carrying, Alam managed to steal one of them,” the DCP said.
The bike owner, Azad Singh, reported the matter to the police after finding his two-wheeler missing from the parking lot of the Metro station, the officer said. The police arrested Alam with the stolen bike on May 20.
