Shocking incident on Agra Expressway – people looting helpless chickens. It’s disheartening to witness such acts of cruelty. This reflects a loss in our humanity. Let’s advocate for compassion and empathy towards all living beings. No one should suffer in silence. 💔… pic.twitter.com/HHruIyGgwh

Early this morning, the dense fog shrouded the most parts of North India. As visibility drops to below 100 metres, a couple of accidents were reported from different parts.
In such intense foggy conditions, the highways become danger zones and often report pile-up of vehicles as they come crashing into each other, one after the another.
Police stopped ‘chicken heist’
It was free for all on the Agra-Faizabad highway until the police intervened. Reports suggest that onlookers & locals kept lifting the chickens until cops reached the spot and put a stop to it.
Reports suggest that the injured lorry driver kept screaming for help but nobody cared to look after him and rather kept running away with the chickens.
The chickens were estimated to be more than 500 in numbers and worth about Rs 1.5 lakh.
