A Fortuner car stolen from outside the house of the Aut Panchayat head in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh has been recovered by police after 21 days. Four accused have been arrested in connection with the theft. The stolen vehicle was recovered from Bhiwani in Haryana.
Vivek Chahal, Assistant Superintendent of Police of Mandi, said that the accused have been identified as Naveen, Vijay alias Fauji, Satish and Rahul alias Bachi. It was a tough task for police to solve the case as they had to scan video footage of 30 CCTV cameras to track the vehicle.
