Ahmedabad Serial Offenders Nabbed | How Kagdapith Police Busted Highway Robbery and Auto Theft Gang

Kagdapith police in Ahmedabad have arrested two habitual offenders, including mastermind Akibkhan Pathan, cracking open a string of vehicle thefts and robberies across Gujarat.

The crackdown, executed on targeted intelligence, netted Akibkhan alias 'Bhura' Pathan and his accomplice Mohsin alias 'Mitti' Pathan. Their arrest resolves three active cases: a major robbery lodged at Ramol police station and two vehicle thefts in the Kagdapith area.

A Trail of 23 Criminal Cases

Police records reveal that Akibkhan is a hardened criminal with a history spanning multiple jurisdictions. He faces 23 serious charges across Petlad, Gaekwad Haveli, Nadiad Town, Narol, Ramol, and Isanpur police stations, covering robbery, vehicle theft, gambling, and prohibition offences.

Akibkhan confessed during interrogation that he had been on the run for months following a robbery in Ramol earlier this year. Kagdapith police are initiating legal procedures to hand over his custody to the Ramol precinct for further investigation.

Stolen Vehicles Recovered

His associate, Mohsin Pathan, carries an extensive criminal record as well, with three cases previously registered against him at the Danilimda police station.

Initial investigations confirm that the duo operated as a coordinated gang, targeting motorbikes and auto-rickshaws before moving into violent street robberies. Officers recovered stolen property from the suspects and have moved court to secure remand, aiming to trace connections to other unsolved vehicle thefts in the city.
