Mumbai: The price of onions has gone through the roof in India. One of the most basic ingredients found in an Indian kitchen is being sold for over Rs 100/kilogram in several cities across the country.

Amid the skyrocketing price, a photo of a sack full of onions lying unguarded outside a restaurant in Mumbai has left the Indians in disbelief.

A photo shared on Twitter by a user @SloganMurugan showed onions placed outside a food joint near the Sewri railway station whose shutters were shut.

The caption of the tweet read, “Believe it or not. Is this is how safe Mumbai is? A sack of onions placed outside a restaurant to be picked up when it opens.”

There have been several instances where attempts have been made by people to steal the bulb vegetable because of its surging price. Some cities have also reported that the vegetables have been stolen by miscreants after the price started to rise.

Here’s the picture of a sack of onion lying unattended outside a restaurant in Mumbai’s Sewri.
