Delhi Police have launched an investigation into theft of five luxury cars from an automobile workshop at Nangloi in West Delhi.
The high profile theft assumes significance as it comes just a week ahead of Republic Day, raising security concerns in the national capital region.
Senior Delhi Police officers say, several teams have been formed to find the vehicles. A case has been registered and an investigation is underway.
A CCTV video, being examined by the police, shows five men speeding away with the cars.
The five vehicles, which have gone missing, include a Volkeswagen Polo, Honda Amaze, Force Gurkha, Ford Ecosport and Mitshubishi Pajero.
The owner of the workshop, who has been identified as one Praveen Kumar, said that six cars were parked for repair, when he left the night before the theft. But the following day when he came to the workshop, five of the vehicles were missing.
Reports suggest that the owner of the Force Gurkha is the son of a senior defence ministry official.
