The skyrocketing prices of onion have led to a theft of around 168 kg of onions in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The incident happened in the Dongri market on Tuesday when two stall owners found that their onion stocks stored in the stalls had gone missing.

Akbar Shaikh and Irfan Shaikh both run vegetable stalls at the Dongri vegetable market. On Sunday, when Akbar and Irfan opened their stalls, they found that onion stored in gunny bags were missing. Akbar had kept around 112 kg of onions while Irfan had around 56 kg of onions in the stall on the earlier day.

After the search for onions didn't yield any result, Akbar and Irfan approached Dongri police. A case of theft was registered against unidentified persons at Dongri police station.

Dongri police officials conducted a punchnama at the spot from where the onion had gone missing and checked CCTV footages from shops and stalls outside the market to identify the accused.

The CCTV footage were circulated amongst informers which helped the cops nab the accused. The cops received a tip-off about one of the suspects identified as 33-year-old Sabir Shaikh. Upon interrogation, Sabir confessed to his crime and named his two partners -- Imran Shaikh and Sabir - who had helped him in the crime.

The duo had committed similar thefts of onions in Byculla, Sewri, Dongri, and Wadala since the price of onions skyrocketed.
