A Bullet motorcycle belonging to a Mumbai Police constable was stolen in broad daylight from outside the Kalyan tehsildar's office, according to reports from Free Press Journal and Lokmat Times. The incident has raised questions about security arrangements in the area.
The complainant, Ashish Nighot, a resident of Kongaoan, is employed with the Mumbai Police. According to the complaint, Nighot had travelled to Kalyan for work and parked his motorcycle outside the tehsildar's office before proceeding to Mumbai. After completing his work, he returned to the spot and found that the motorcycle was missing. He subsequently approached the Mahatma Phule Police Station and lodged a complaint regarding the theft.
Following the complaint, police examined CCTV footage from cameras installed in and around the area. The footage reportedly captured two suspicious persons connected with the incident. As per the CCTV footage, one suspect was seen riding another motorcycle, while the second suspect was reportedly seen riding away on Nighot's stolen Bullet, as reported by both outlets.

Police teams are examining CCTV footage and other technical evidence to identify the two suspects and trace the stolen motorcycle. Lokmat Times adds that investigators are scrutinising the recordings closely to gather information about the suspects' movements before and after the incident, and are working to establish the sequence of events and determine whether the two individuals acted together.
