Truck looted in UP

A Delhi-bound truck carrying iron was allegedly looted by half-a-dozen armed assailants in Barolia village here, police said today.

The incident took place yesterday under the Jasrath police station area here when they intercepted the truck, and threw the driver and the conducter in the fields after tying their hands and feet, they said.

"The driver somehow managed to escape and narrated the sequence of events to the villagers who then informed the police," SSP Etah Akhilesh Chaurasia said.

Police teams have formed to nab the miscreants and the truck, he added.
