Robbers Rob Potato Trader Of ₹22 Lakh In Morena
A man who sells potatoes was traveling with a lot of money in a taxi.
Some bad people stopped the taxi, threw spicy chili powder in the driver's eyes, and took the money.
The police are investigating because the driver and the trader told different stories.
The police think the trader might be lying, and they are looking at videos from the highway to find out what really happened.
A potato trader was robbed of ₹22 lakh near the Sikroda canal on National Highway-44 in Morena, Madhya Pradesh.
Armed robbers stopped the trader's taxi, threw chili powder in the driver's eyes, and fled with the cash-filled bag.
The trader attempted to run away while the robbers escaped with the money.
