He said the committee had called the arhtiya and had been asked to clear the picture. According to information, the theft came to the fore when labourers were loading wheat bags into wagons at the Sangrur Railway Station.
The labourers reportedly found that straw was put in several wheat bags instead of grain. The wheat was procured by the PUNGRAIN on behalf of the FCI and was being sent to Gujarat.
An FIR has been registered under Sections 406, 420, 379 and 120-B of the IPC against unknown persons.
