The latest case has emerged from Majhola police station limits. Just 100 meters from the TP Nagar police outpost, a group of influential men are allegedly running an illegal vehicle dismantling operation, openly cutting up stolen cars, motorcycles and other vehicles, and selling the parts in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"905\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1314059-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1314059-1.jpg 905w, https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1314059-1-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1314059-1-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oplus_16908288<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shockingly, the police remain completely silent. The key accused, a local strongman known as Raja, is reportedly operating this illegal racket with confidence \u2014 and allegedly with the support of some TP Nagar outpost staff. Sources say Raja dismantles dozens of stolen vehicles every day and sells the extracted spare parts freely in the market. Insiders claim that if police thoroughly inspect Raja\u2019s godown, where these dismantled parts and vehicles are stored, a major revelation could occur \u2014 possibly exposing several missing and stolen vehicles. A local youth has now uploaded photographs of Raja\u2019s illegal vehicle-cutting operation on social media, bringing the issue into public attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moradabad (Desk):While Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath continues to issue strict instructions to eradicate corruption and crime from the state \u2014 even bringing in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32,30,33,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city-update","category-crime","category-india","category-moradabad","category-uttarpradesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=669"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":673,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669\/revisions\/673"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nowindiatimes.com\/india\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
