A man's bizarre behavior before stealing a motorcycle from a Varanasi showroom has become the focus of attention. The unidentified suspect spent hours inside the dealership, engaging in a series of peculiar activities captured on CCTV.
The footage revealed the man dancing, drinking coffee, bathing in the washroom, and even changing clothes before making off with a KTM Adventure 390 S bike. He arrived at the showroom around 11:30 pm, initially attempting to cut through the glass door. When heavy rain started, he took shelter, tore down a banner for cover, and then resumed his efforts.
Once inside the showroom around midnight, the man used the reception computer, examined motorcycles, and helped himself to coffee and water. His actions escalated to taking a bath, using a motorcycle to dry his clothes, and fashioning a garment from a bike cover. He then danced vigorously before selecting a T-shirt and cap from the accessories stock and finally riding away on the stolen motorcycle.
Showroom manager Rohit Kumar Singh discovered the theft after being alerted by the security guard about the damaged main door. He found the gate cut and glass shards scattered inside. Police have registered an FIR and are actively working to identify and apprehend the suspect.
Information was received about the theft of a bike. We inspected the scene, and the forensic team collected evidence. A team has been deployed to ensure arrest of the accused.
