Thieves steal 20 kg tomatoes at Dornakal village in Mahbubnagar district

As the prices of tomatoes continued to soar above Rs 150 per kg, thieves found it too tempting. On Wednesday, they made off with nearly 20 kg of tomatoes and 5 kg of green chillies from a vegetable vendor's shop in Dornakal village, located in Mahbubnagar district.

According to the police, the vendor named B. Prakash had left the tomatoes, valued at Rs 2,400, and the



green chillies, worth Rs 490, covered with a polythene sheet at his kiosk in the Gandhi Chowk vegetable market before leaving on Wednesday afternoon. However, upon his return, he discovered that the produce had been stolen.

Prakash promptly approached the police station and filed a complaint regarding the incident.
