Jammu and Kashmir Police Saturday sounded an alert after several cases
of motorcycle thefts were reported from various parts of the Jammu and
Kashmir's summer capital - Srinagar.
"Police have started
investigations into bike lifting cases that have occurred in the past
few days in Srinagar. Four bikes were reported to have been stolen from
different places in the city," a police spokesman said.
Security
agencies are looking into the possibility of militants having stolen the
motorcycles for use in subversive activities, police sources said.
In the past, militants have used stolen bikes to carry out attacks on security forces in Srinagar and elsewhere in the valley.
The
attack on an army convoy at Hyderpora here on June 24 which left eight
soldiers dead and several others injured was also carried out using a
motorcycle snatched by militants from two students in a nearby locality,
the sources said.
The common pattern in the four theft cases
reported over the past few days is that all the stolen bikes are at
least 13 years old. (PTI)
