Haryana Police Chief Calls Out Thar SUVs and Bullet Bikes as Symbols of Crime
9 Nov
Summary
- Haryana DGP says Thar SUVs and Bullet motorcycles are favored by criminals
- Claims police cannot overlook these vehicles during checks
- Cites an incident where the son of an ACP ran over someone in a Thar
In a surprising move, the Haryana Director General of Police, OP Singh, has made a series of unusual remarks linking criminals' behavior to their choice of vehicles, particularly Thar SUVs and Bullet motorcycles. Speaking to reporters in Gurugram on November 7th, 2025, Singh stated that while police cannot stop every vehicle for checks, a Thar or a Bullet cannot be overlooked.
"We don't check all vehicles. If it's a Thar, how can we let it go? Or if it's a Bullet motorcycle... all notorious elements use such cars and bikes. The choice of vehicle reflects your mindset. People who drive Thars perform stunts on the road," Singh said.
The Haryana top cop, who is also the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's brother-in-law, elaborated on the behavior associated with Thar drivers, especially among the youth. "The Thar is not just a car, it is a statement that says, 'this is how I am'. The trend has become a status symbol," he added.
Singh cited a recent incident involving the son of an assistant commissioner of police, who ran over someone in a Thar. "The son of an Assistant Commissioner of Police ran over someone while driving a Thar. He wants his son freed, and we asked him whose name the car is registered in. It's in his name, so he is the rogue element," he said.
