The bike was stolen from a guest house in Guwahati’s Sarusajai area on March 6. Following a coordinated police operation, it was recovered from Prem Bazar in Dhubri's Fakirganj locality. Two suspects, identified as Firoz Qazi and Ashraful Dewan, have been arrested in connection with the theft. A case numbered 140/25 has been registered at Basistha Police Station.

Police investigations revealed that the accused had planned to sell the bike outside the state. However, their plans were foiled after the incident went viral on social media, prompting swift police action. While the viral news initially helped the suspects evade capture, police efforts ultimately led to their arrest and the bike’s recovery.

Rider Noni, a biker from Uttarakhand on a 30,000 km ‘Women Empowerment’ ride, described the incident as shocking. Having toured nearly half of India over the past six months, she took to Instagram to seek urgent assistance from Assam Police and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. She also shared CCTV footage of the theft to raise awareness.
