Police bust Rs 2.31 crore inter-state luxury car theft racket
Police in Bengaluru caught two men who were stealing expensive cars in Delhi and selling them in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
They changed the registration numbers but kept the original chassis and engine numbers, which helped the police track them.
The cars were worth a lot of money, and the police think this might be part of a bigger crime group.
The two men only talked to each other using the internet to avoid being caught.
The police are still investigating to find out more.
