Navi Mumbai biker’s KTM stolen in Nottingham; Alekari slams UK police, says 'no safety for tourists'

A blogger from Navi Mumbai, Yogesh Alekari, on a solo round-the-world tour, expressed his frustration after his motorbike, carrying his passport and belongings, was stolen from a park in Nottingham, United Kingdom.

The 33-year-old remarked on the British police’s inability to prevent the theft, adding that “had it happened to any foreigner in India, the government would have left no stone unturned to find it.”

The incident marked an unexpected setback for the Mumbai biker, who had been traveling solo around the world.

“In this journey, my bike was everything—my dream, my soul, my passion; it was my home, and now my home has been stolen," said Alekari with a heavy heart, who was on a solo world tour on his bike, having so far travelled 25,000 kilometres in four months.
“When I returned, my bike had already been stolen along with my laptop, camera, money, passport, and credit cards,” Alekari said, marking an abrupt halt to his solo world tour.

“It was a fully loaded bike. I have lost everything. I have just my riding jacket, riding shoes and helmet. I am on a tourist visa, and there is no safety or security in this country for tourists. If this incident had happened with any foreigner in India, the entire police force and the Indian government would have left no stone unturned to investigate the matter and catch the thieves. I am going through the worst time of my life," he added.
