Authorities in Nurpur have made a significant advancement in a motorcycle theft investigation, apprehending two suspects and recovering the stolen bike.

The incident was reported on March 2, 2026, at the Noorpur Police Station following a complaint lodged by Rajneesh Kumar from the village of Kamanala, located in Tehsil Noorpur, District Kangra. During the investigation, law enforcement uncovered connections between this case (FIR No. 72/26) and a previous theft incident (FIR No. 66/26, dated February 25, 2026).

One of the suspects, Abhishek Kumar, son of Tarvij Singh from village Tipri in District Chamba, was already in judicial custody for the earlier case and was found to be involved in the theft reported on March 2.
