Hubballi, Keshwapur Police just nabbed Sayyed Ali, also known as Harshavardhan Nadaf, for running a massive bike theft ring across Bengaluru, Belagavi, and Hubballi. Our sources confirmed the Gadag-based thief was hauled into court after officers recovered 12 stolen two-wheelers worth a staggering 20 lakh rupees on February 24, 2026.
The haul is massive. We saw a lineup of high-end rides, including seven Royal Enfields, two NTORQs, a Honda Dio, a Yamaha, and a Bajaj Pulsar.
Is your parked bike actually safe?
Nadaf didn’t just pick easy targets. He systematically targeted busy city streets across three major hubs in Karnataka to fuel his operation.
Total brazenness. One man managed to disappear with over a dozen vehicles before the law finally caught up.
How much was the loot worth?
The recovery value hit 20,000,000 rupees exactly. This specific figure highlights the scale of the luxury bike black market in the state.
The suspect is now behind bars. According to local police reports https://karnatakapolice.gov.in/.
Justice served. We talked to officials who confirmed the accused has been produced before the magistrate for further custody.
