Imphal, November 09:
A goods laden truck coming to Imphal from Dimapur was set ablaze by some unidentified persons at Changoubung, about 2.5 kms North of Kangpokpi police station at about 12.50 pm today.
It is reported that the unidentified persons blocked the truck (AS01-4515) by piling up boulders on the highway before torching it.
The truck was laden with plastic shoes, woollen yarn, ready-made clothes and medicines.
Most of the goods and major portion of the truck were gutted in the fire.
When a police team reached the spot, no one was there including drivers and helpers.
It is reported that the truck crossed Senapati at about 11 am today.
The charred vehicle has been brought to Kangpokpi police station.
The spot where the truck was set ablaze today is very near to the spot where an apple laden truck was torched on November 3.It is suspected the two cases of arson might have been perpetrated by a same group of miscreants.
