Posing as a buyer, the man in his mid-twenties went out for a test drive on Saturday with an employee of the showroom as a pillion rider.

After a brief test drive, he asked the employee to get down so that he could ride the bike on a dirt road and never came back.

The dealer has announced a cash reward of Rs 50,000 to anyone who provides information about the 180cc bike worth Rs 78,000 as the man remains untraceable, police said.
