According to the police, this gang led by kingpin Zubair used to steal tractors from many cities, sell their parts separately, and make generators from tractor engines and sell them. The gang used to put fake stickers of Eicher and Mahindra on the generators and sell them as new generators in the market.
The police said that since August 2023, this gang has stolen more than 100 tractors and cases have been registered against 33 people. The names of the arrested accused are – Zubair, Furqan, Asif, Yasin Akram, Yasuddin, Shah Alam Akram, Farhan, Nadeem, Usman, Arman and Shahnawaz.
