HASSAN (K'TAKA)/HYDERABAD (TELANGANA): The skyrocketing prices of tomato have made the culinary staple so valuable that it has lured thieves into stealing them.

In a theft of a smaller scale, 20 kg of tomatoes was allegedly stolen from a shop in Mahabubabad district in Telangana, police said on Thursday.
