A farmhouse was rented in Delhi by a gang of thieves to dismantle stolen cars and later sell them in the spare parts market to wipe out all traces of car theft. Seven accused persons have been arrested in connection with the case, including a mechanic who used to dismantle old vehicles of BMC in Mumbai.

They had rented a shed in a farmhouse at Shahpur village in the Narela area of the national capital. It was found that two brothers -- Avtar Singh and Gurjeet Singh -- were operating the racket in a very sophisticated manner. They used to steal cars from Tilak Nagr, Rajouri Garden, Janak Puri, Vikas Puri, Khyala, Rani Bagh, Mahindra Park and adjoining areas. The stolen vehicles were then brought to the shed in the farmhouse where the mechanic, identified as Gulab, used to dismantle them with the help of the accused brothers.
