Guwahati: Guwahati Police on Sunday busted a gang of car lifters in the city's Geetanagar area and also nabbed two persons from the gang.
Acting on a tip-off, the police conducted raids and arrested Debojit Bhattacharya and Deep Roy.

The vehicle was stolen on March 7, 2022, from Jorabat. However, the police successfully cracked the case and recovered the stolen vehicle from Nongstoin at West Khasi Hills with the help of Meghalaya police.
