Indian English slang for stealing a car — basically grand theft auto in casual everyday language. The term is widely used in Indian news reports, crime dramas, and casual conversation as a shorthand for vehicle theft.

It's so embedded in Indian English that it shows up in official police records and newspaper headlines without any sense of irony.
