Upon receiving the complaint, police began searching for the looted van and found it abandoned around 5 km away with two crates of milk missing.

"We rushed to the spot and confirmed the incident through the CCTV cameras installed around and identified the accused as medical students. We have arrested the three students for disturbing peace for now. They will be produced in court and then booked under the charge of loot," said a police officer.
