In a recent development, a resident of Indira Nagar-Chimbel, Shivram Kadam, found himself in custody after being apprehended by the Old Goa police on Saturday. Kadam stands accused of the theft of a trailer truck that had been parked alongside the road at Corlim.
The trailer truck in question had previously been involved in an accident on September 5, resulting in substantial damages amounting to Rs 4 lakh, as it collided with a shed in Corlim. Following the accident, Old Goa police had taken possession of the truck, given its inoperable condition, and parked it in an open space by the roadside. The truck’s driver had been entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the vehicle until further court orders were issued.

However, an alarming discovery was made when it was observed that the truck had mysteriously vanished from its designated parking spot. In response, the authorities promptly registered a complaint with the State.
The subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Shivram Kadam on charges of committing theft of the truck. He now faces charges under sections 279, 336, and 427 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The police successfully located the dismantled truck and initiated further inquiries into the incident. The case remains under investigation, and more details are expected to emerge as the probe continues.
