Shahjapur: Victim of truck-cutting incident accuses cops of demanding bribe

Shahjapur (Madhya Pradesh): Agra - Bombay National Highway No 3 witnessed another truck-cutting incident between Shahjapur and Maksi village on Monday late at night when some unidentified robbers robbed a moving truck.

After crossing Shahjapur district headquarters, he was moving towards Maksi when another driver moving behind his truck alerted him about some miscreants removing bales of clothes from his container truck bearing registration no MH04/KU5765.

Complainant Naim Khan immediately parked his container truck on the roadside and found six bales missing. He rushed to Maksi police station and asked an on-duty police officer to register his complaint.

Khan informed that he was told that Maksi police station in charge was in the field at Kanjar dens. Thus he was forced to wait for more than three hours.
