NEW DELHI: A Hyundai Creta was stolen in New Delhi within just 60 seconds early in the morning. Yes, in under a minute, a group of people arrived in a car, hacked the vehicle’s security system, and stole it.
On Instagram, a user named Rishabh Chauhan shared CCTV footage dated June 21, showing how his car—parked outside his home in Safdarjung Enclave—was stolen. He also warned others against buying the Hyundai Creta.
In the video, a car is seen approaching from another direction and parking beside Chauhan's vehicle. One person exits, breaks the driver-side window, and then leaves. A few minutes later, the same car returns and parks next to the Creta again. This time, a different person wearing a mask steps out, hacks into the vehicle’s security system, and successfully unlocks the car.
Chauhan also shared a screenshot of an email confirming that an investigation is underway by the police.
In his caption, he wrote, "Hi, my Hyundai Creta was stolen in 60 seconds on June 21, 2025. As seen in this video from my CCTV, the Creta is no longer safe when parked outside. Its security system appears to have been hacked or leaked and can be bypassed in under a minute. Anyone considering buying a Creta—beware, it can be stolen at any time. @hyundaiindia, the Hyundai team really needs to upgrade their safety software. The car has still not been found by @delhi.police_official."
He added, "If Delhi isn’t safe, I don’t even want to imagine the state of other places in India."
The post has garnered over 3 million views and more than 2,500 comments. Some commenters pointed out that Chauhan may have mentioned the wrong date, while others alleged the involvement of local police or residential security staff.
