To recover a stolen bike in India, the first step is to file a First Information Report (FIR) at the local police station. If the police recover the bike, you must prove ownership by submitting documents such as the RC (Registration Certificate), insurance papers, and ID proof. To formally request the release of the recovered vehicle, you'll need to file a "superdari"application in the Magistrate's Court where the FIR was lodged or where the bike is held. Once the court approves, it will issue an order directing the police to hand over the bike. Meanwhile, it's also helpful to notify your insurance company, check online marketplaces, inform local bike shops, and spread the word on social media especially if your bike hasn't been recovered yet or if it has a GPS tracker installed.
