Arunachal cops return stolen luxury vehicles to rightful owners

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Police have initiated the process of returning several stolen four-wheelers to their rightful owners, marking a major step in the state-wide crackdown against vehicle theft that has exposed one of the largest luxury vehicle rackets in the country.
