PUNE: The Indapur police on Thursday seized 45 boxes of gutka and the container they were in, worth a total of Rs22.28 lakh, four days after the vehicle met with an accident and no one came forward to claim the goods inside it.
A case against the vehicle’s owner and the driver was registered.
Senior inspector T Y Mujawar of the Indapur police said the container truck had crashed into a sugarcane trolley on the Pune-Solapur highway on January 9. “The driver was stuck in the vehicle cabin. Our policemen rescued him and sent him to hospital as he had suffered injuries on his legs and eye. He was later shifted to the Sassoon Genaral Hospital in Pune,” said Mujawar.
