Broke the Window, Stole Batteries and Escaped on a Rickshaw

According to the police, on November 7, 2026, the Deputy General Manager of the MSME Technology Centre, Kasna, lodged a complaint at the police station. The complaint stated that several Amaron Quanta UPS batteries and the licence/master key of a 3D printing machine had been stolen from the institution’s 3D printing room on Khanpur Road. Based on the complaint, a case was registered at Kasna Police Station under Case Crime No. 223/2026, Section 305(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Considering the seriousness of the incident, the police immediately launched an investigation. CCTV footage from the crime scene and nearby areas was examined, while manual intelligence was activated to identify the suspects. Following continuous efforts, all three accused were arrested within the police station’s jurisdiction on November 8.

Three Accused Arrested, Entire Stolen Property Recovered

 The arrested individuals have been identified as Usman Ali (20), son of Sabir Ali, a resident of Firozpur village in Sambhal district, currently residing in Ladpura, Kasna; Joni (22), son of Janak Singh, a resident of Khatauli, Muzaffarnagar, currently residing in Ghodi Bachheda, Dadri; and Iman (22), son of Islam, a resident of Old Faridabad, Haryana, currently residing in Aichhar, Beta-2, Gautam Buddh Nagar.

With these recoveries, the police claimed to have recovered 100 per cent of the stolen property.

Stolen Goods Hidden in an Abandoned Factory
