Lucknow, Oct 17 (TIWN) Bizarre though it may sound but a man in Lucknow has been robbed of onions, garlic and tomatoes. The soaring prices of these vegetables apparently have a lot to do with the theft.

On Monday night, Chaurasia wrapped up his business and shut his wayside shop by putting tarpaulin on the vegetables.  When he returned the next morning, he was aghast to see his vegetable strewn around and found that the bags of onions, garlic and tomatoes kept under the wooden planks were missing.  Chaurasia informed his friends and they made inquiries all around.  Finally, on Tuesday night, Chaurasia lodged a formal complaint with the Ghazipur police station.
