In the investigation the statements given by the driver was found untrue but when he was grille, he confessed about the planning and executing the robbery along with other accomplices. Around 3 years ago driver Surendra Vishwakarma bought a truck ,MP-15-HA-0747 on loan but due to lack of work he was not able to repay it which increased his debt out of which he decided to commit robbery. One of the victim’s friends Ibarik gave him the idea to rob his own truck filled with goods and he would help in disposing the goods and truck. After disposing the truck through insurance claim a good amount could be earned. Among other accused Ramkesh Vishwakarma, Pravesh Vishwakarma, Ibrahim Khan, Shivraj Vishwakarma, Vrindawan Vishwakarma, Ibarik Khan and Babu Khan were arrested who have helped in the robbery. On February 3, gunny bags carrying Soyabean worth Rs 10 lakh were robbed when the consignment was in transition between Kurawar to Pithampur. The robbery took place late night on February 3 in which the truck along with the loaded Soyabean was looted by three masked miscreants told the main accused Surendra Vishwakarma but during the investigation the victim turned out to be accused.
