Thousands of litres of milk stolen

After the crash, traffic police moved the vehicles to the side of National Highway-9 (NH-9), which is part of the expressway. But the situation took a strange twist when a video started circulating on social media, showing people crowding around the damaged milk tanker. The video shows them opening the tanker’s outlet valve and helping themselves to the milk, filling up containers and buckets.

The tanker, which originally held 21,000 liters of milk, was left with only about 7,000 liters after the incident. The tanker’s owner, Atul Kumar from Mayur Vihar Phase 3 in Delhi, reported the theft to the police.
