A man fled with a car that he had hired in Shamshabad on Thursday. The suspect booked a sedan on a taxi aggregator app from Serilingampally to Pallaruguda. He then asked the driver to halt at a popular restaurant for lunch, where he asked for his phone to make a call, and fled with the car.
“The driver was having lunch when the suspect faked a phone call. He requested the driver for his phone citing network issues and drove away with the car,” Station House Officer of RGIA Police Station K Balaraju explained.
Kotla Moshi, the cab driver, and resident of Manikonda filed a complaint with the RGIA Police. According to the police, the suspect is a repeat offender, who was involved in similar cases earlier. The investigation is underway by the crime branch to map and trace him, the official said.
