Poddar said it was his neighbour Gunjan Pandey who conceived, planned and later executed the theft with the help of his two other accomplices Jamshed alias Sinu Sheikh and Abhishek Chandravanshi.
None of the three has any criminal antecedence, said the police inspector.

The trio first took the stolen autorickshaw to Tetrain jungle and then to Sagalim More waiting for any buyer for it when the town police got a whiff of it and pounced on two of the three, Jamshed and Abhishek, and recovered the stolen autorickshaw.
Jamshed is a puncture maker and it was he who drove the stolen auto rickshaw, added Poddar.
The team led by SDPO Mani Bhushan Prasad, Deobrata Poddar Bhupender Kumar Singh Santosh Kumar and 2 other cops identified as Kalamuddin Ansari and Achu Munda did a good job.
