Thieves have again decamped with onions, this time in the Pink City, where 4,000 kg of the pricey bulb was stolen from a wholesale market.

Two persons have been arrested for the theft from Muhana Mandi in Jaipur.

The accused include a watchman of the mandi and a woman, who provided place for the stock, police said on Tuesday.

Watchman Kajor was arrested on Monday night and the woman was caught on Tuesday, investigating officer Ashutosh Kumar said.

“The shop owner Kishan Agrawal found the stock missing and lodged an FIR. Kajor transported the onions to the woman’s place in a pickup van. Involvement of other persons is also suspected and the matter is being investigated,” he added.
