On November 5, 2025, Omair Ullah Wani reported that his motorcycle (registration number JK06A-6107) had been stolen from the Jathi area. Police Station Assar quickly registered an FIR under Section 302(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Responding to the complaint, SSP Doda Shri Sandeep Mehta (JKPS) directed a special team led by PSI Shivam Dev Singh. Under the supervision of DySP DAR Doda and SHO Police Station Assar, investigators launched a comprehensive inquiry.

Authorities discovered that Mohd Tariq is an absconder with numerous pending cases spanning several districts in Jammu and Kashmir and neighboring states. He faced allegations of various crimes, including theft and drug-related offenses.

- FIR No. 259/2013 P/S Katra
- FIR No. 59/2016 P/S Chennani
- FIR No. 132/2016 P/S Katra
- Numerous others across different districts, summing up to 18 FIRs.
