SAGAR (MP): Some 1,500 iPhones worth Rs 11 crore were looted from a container truck in Sagar in Madhya Pradesh, following which one policeman was suspended and two were "line attached" (taken off field duty) for alleged dereliction of duty, an official said on Saturday.
Those transporting the phones have claimed the loot was carried out after the driver of the truck was drugged and gagged on August 15, Sagar Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjay Uikey told PTI.
"We are verifying the claim of the transporters of some 1500 iPhones worth Rs 11 crore getting looted. Apple, which manufactures these phones, has not contacted police so far. I am at the spot, some 35 kilometres from the district headquarters, and videography of the truck is in progress," he said.
