Tamil Nadu Couple

The Karnataka police arrested a couple from Tamil Nadu's Vellore district for hijacking a truck loaded with 2.5 tonnes of tomatoes. The couple was identified as Bhaskar (28) and his wife Sindhuja (26.) After faking an accident, they planned a tomato heist to extort money from a farmer in Karnataka.  The development came at a time when the prices of tomatoes were skyrocketing, due to adverse weather conditions.
