Jharsuguda police have busted an inter-district bike theft racket by arresting seven accused and recovering five stolen two-wheelers. The gang broke the bike locks and used duplicate keys to steal them. The police recovered five motorcycles from remote areas of Talsara in Sundargarh district and Jharsuguda town. The arrests followed a complaint regarding the theft of two bikes from the house of Jai Krushna Sahu. Further investigation is ongoing to verify if they are involved in any other cases.
