Pune Rural police on Tuesday arrested 4 people for stealing 58 bags of onions worth Rs 2.35 lakhs from a farmer on Oct 21. The accused had broken the lock of barracks where onions were kept.
Otur police said, "49 bags worth Rs 2 lakhs recovered while rest bags were sold."
Onion price in Pune has already crossed 100 Rs per Kg following the less supply in markets due to heavy rain in the area.
The new onions have been damaged due to rain leading to heavy loss to farmers.
