MUMBAI: The Ghatkopar police have launched a hunt for a man who allegedly fled with a Hyundai Creta car hired from an app-based rental service. The owner of the stolen car is a doctor who lives in Ghatkopar.
The police said the car was booked by a Bhiwandi resident for three days but he handed it over to someone known to him, who fled with the vehicle after removing the GPS system.
The police have the details of the suspect but aren't disclosing his identity. "The person is out of Maharashtra now, but we will soon nab him," said an officer from the Ghatkopar police station.
According to police, the complainant, 51-year-old Dr Subhash Yadav from Ghatkopar West, had bought the Hyundai Creta in October 2023. He decided to list the car on an app-based rental service as, being a doctor, he spent maximum time in his clinic and was not using the vehicle much.
After an agreement was made between him and the rental company, an employee fitted a GPS device on the vehicle.
