Police investigations further revealed that when a victim, mostly women, boards the taxi, the suspects deliberately lock the doors to make it difficult for the victim to alight.
While the victim attempts to open the door, the suspect, seated at the back, pretends to assist and allegedly steals the victim’s mobile phone or wallet.
The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting investigations, while efforts are underway to identify and arrest persons who receive and trade in the stolen items”.
