CHENNAI: Making off with several tonnes of biryani may be a dream scenario for some. But making off with 27 tonnes of biriyani rice? Well, maybe if it’s worth Rs 21 lakh. That is exactly what a truck driver in Thiruvottriyur is accused of doing!
According to the police, K K Samy, a truck driver, escaped with a truck laden with almost 25,000 kg of biriyani rice, worth a whopping Rs 21 lakh. Samy was employed at a transport company that rents out trucks to deliver goods.
The truck belongs to one Marathumuthu from Annamalai Nagar in Thiruvottiyur. “On Monday night, Samy and his colleague Sundar Raj were assigned to take 27 tonnes of rice from Thiruvottiyur, to a wholesale rice merchant in Poonamallee. After loading the truck, Samy told Sundar to go home and return after dinner. Since Sundar’s home was nearby, he left and returned only to find Samy — and the truck — missing,” said a police officer.
The owner of the truck was alerted and a complaint was lodged at the Thiruvottiyur police station. Police said the driver’s mobile number was switched off and, unfortunately, the truck did not have a GPS system installed.
