Two men broke into a shop in Mumbai to steal liquor bottles but ran away with blankets instead when they could not find any alcohol. The police have arrested both of them.

Two men, Mohan Patwa and Rahul Mahato, broke into a shop in Mumbai’s Kandivali area to steal liquor bottles but ran away with hundreds of blankets instead. They have both been arrested by the Mumbai police. According to police officials, the men had received a tip-off that a lot of alcohol was kept hidden in the shop during the Covid-induced lockdown. However, when they broke the shutters and entered the shop, they only found hundreds of blankets and took those instead.
