Driver Rajkumar told the police that he had stopped near Dumad crossroads on national highway-48 on November 19 evening as entry in to the city was prohibited at that time. He informed the owner of the transport company that he will proceed further only after the allotted time at night.
While he was sitting in the cabin of the truck, two persons in a car approached him asking him directions to Aslali. Rajkumar got down from his truck to give them directions and after they shared tobacco with him, he returned to his vehicle and started using his mobile phone. However, a little later somebody came from behind and rubbed a handkerchief on his face through the window after which he fell unconscious.
All he remembers was waking up the next morning on Friday somewhere near the Gujarat-Maharashtra border in Narmada district, Rajkumar told the police, adding that he soon managed to reach Dumad crossroads somehow by afternoon, and met the truck’s owner and told him the ordeal.
