To ensure wider verification, Wireless Telegraphy (WT) messages containing details of the recovered vehicles have been flashed to all SHOs across India. This is to cross-check with any theft or missing vehicle reports filed in their jurisdictions.

Capital Police officials said the operation reflects their commitment to curbing vehicle theft and ensuring that stolen property is restored to its owners. Investigations are continuing to identify more vehicles linked to the racket.
