MUMBAI: Despite tall claims made by law-enforcing agencies of their success in reining in car thefts, information tabled in the Lok Sabha shows that as many as 1.65 lakh vehicles were stolen in a single year—2013. Also, Maharashtra has achieved the dubious distinction of leading states with the highest number of vehicular theft cases, after Uttar Pradesh.

Lok Sabha member P P Chaudhary had sought information on cases registered during the past three years and whether there was a proposal to create a portal at the national level for better coordination among state governments.

In a written reply, Union minister of state for home H P Chaudhary said a total of 1.51 lakh cases of vehicle thefts were registered in 2011 and the number rose to 1.54 lakh in 2012 and 1.65 lakh in 2013. "We have developed and hosted a website—Vahan Samanavay—for coordination of stolen and received motor vehicles as well inquiries in this regard," he said.

Transport commissioner Mahesh Zagade expressed concern over the spurt in vehicle theft cases. "It's certainly a matter of concern. We will have to bring in new technology to halt incidents of vehicle theft. As transport commissioner, we will step up vigil across the state to curb vehicle theft incidents."

Known for bringing in innovative concepts in administration, Zagade said it will have to be examined whether a radio frequency identification plan is taken up on a pilot basis for the purpose. "We will have to examine it. If we are able to introduce the radio frequency identification plan and locate the vehicles, it will be a huge achievement."

A former DGP said it was high time the wireless network was strengthened to locate stolen vehicles. "We will have to build a strong CCTV network across the state. We have toll plazas at several places. At least at these places, there can be a state-of-the-art CCTV network. In my opinion, once a case of vehicle theft is lodged at a police station, a message should be delivered at all toll plazas to locate the vehicle immediately."

He further said in ,Mumbai too, the proposed CCTV network will help find stolen vehicles. "We are in the process of installing a CCTV network in Mumbai. We should have a software on stolen vehicles, too. For the purpose, we can study the system adopted by the UK and the US for detection of stolen vehicles."

Secondly, the former DGP said in recent past, there was talk of high security number plates with holograms. "We should develop new technology. Once we feed the number of a stolen vehicle, the vehicle should be detected the moment it passes through a toll naka."
