The motorcycle belonged to Mayank Rana, a resident of the society. He had parked it in the basement on Sunday and discovered it missing when he went to check on Monday morning. Residents allege that outsiders can move around the basement without difficulty, raising questions over the society’s security system.
According to residents, this is the eighth theft incident reported in the society in the last two years. A few months ago, thieves allegedly stole goods worth lakhs from a locked flat, adding to concerns over security in the complex.

Residents have also questioned the security of vehicles parked in the basement, saying the theft of a Rs 4.5 lakh motorcycle despite CCTV coverage has raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of the existing security arrangements.
