Reportedly, the incident came in light, when the new owner lodged a complaint about the car theft at Dwarka, sector 23 police station. The police then, reportedly, check the previous records of the car, which puzzled them as the details given by the new owner were matching with a different car of the same colour and the car belonged to a Delhi resident.
During the investigation, a police officer got an alert from one of its sources that the suspect is going to sell the vehicle again. A team of police officers then caught the suspect.
Reports say that, Mintoo had told the police that, he was the owner of a massage parlour cum spa which was suffering from huge losses and he was trying to recover money which may save him from financial woes.
He got caught, but his plan surprised even the most senior and experienced police officers.
