Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Awadhpuri police are matching the finger prints of the accused with the ones found in a stolen pickup loading vehicle that ran over its owner and his relative near Bhopal on December 14, official sources said on Monday.
The incident occurred when its owner and his relative chased the thieves who made off with their pickup loading vehicle. The duo was on a two-wheeler.
