Ujjain police recovered a motorcycle stolen the previous night during a morning procession, and the alleged thief, Vishal, begged for forgiveness, acknowledging his past criminal record.
Police in Ujjain said a motorcycle reported stolen during the night was recovered early Wednesday as officers cleared a morning procession in the city. The vehicle was found intact and handed back to its owner after the recovery operation.
The alleged thief, identified as Vishal, was apprehended at the scene. He approached the police, clutched his ear and pleaded, "Please forgive me, I will not steal again," before being taken into custody.
Investigators disclosed that Vishal is not a first‑time offender. Records from Mahakal, Bhairavgarh, Badnagar and Nagda police stations show he is already linked to seven prior cases involving theft and assault, making this his eighth alleged crime. Police emphasized that swift action aims to deter property‑related offences in the region.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by Ujjain law enforcement to curb petty crime and restore public confidence, especially during large public gatherings such as processions.
