In a swift breakthrough, Kohima Police recovered a stolen Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 motorcycle belonging to an Andhra Pradesh-based YouTuber within ten days of the theft and arrested two persons in connection with the case.

According to police, the incident was reported on April 17 after Katabathina Sudheer Kumar, a biker and YouTuber from Andhra Pradesh, lodged an FIR at North Police Station, Kohima.

He stated that his motorcycle, bearing registration number AP40CS4895, had been stolen from outside his homestay at Midlane Colony in Kohima.

Following the complaint, North Police Station launched an extensive investigation and search operation. Based on intelligence inputs, the stolen motorcycle was traced to the New Jalukie area in Peren district.
