During interrogation, the accused confessed to his involvement in a vehicle theft case registered at Mankapur Police Station and an auto-rickshaw theft case registered at Sitabuldi Police Station. Acting on his disclosure, police recovered the stolen auto-rickshaw and a motorcycle linked to the theft cases.
Investigators revealed that Sonawane had been released from jail nearly two months ago in connection with another theft case. Following his release, he reportedly remained unemployed and allegedly resumed criminal activities, leading to the recent vehicle thefts.

Nagpur Police officials stated that the operation reflects the Crime Branch’s continued efforts to curb vehicle theft and track down habitual offenders operating within the city.
