Naorem Robindro (44) s/o late N Chandra Singh of Kwakta Pangal Lamkhai, presently staying at Khoijuman Road, Bishnupur and Shangomsumpham Md Helim of Kwakta Ward No 6 went to Phouljang village along Gorthon Road, about 1.5 Km West of Kwakta Bazar to buy vegetables today.
They bought vegetables and loaded them in Robindro's car a little distance short of Phouljang village.
