Nagpur: The Khaparcheda police in the Nagpur countryside registered cheating violations and other charges against truck owners and two drivers this week because they were suspected of cheating the Thermal Power (KTPS) of the RS80,000.
The police did not make arrests in the case submitted after the complaint was submitted by Mahagenco.
In addition to changing registration numbers with tempering with plates, the truck driver was studied to try to manipulate the GPS location by diverting the location of the original truck vehicle into a fake number plate.
The police said the Transporter Chhabi Singh tried to provide a low-level coal to the KTPS after mine from Mahabaon in Mouuda, even though he should supply high-grade coal from a limited western western mine in Gondegaon, Kanhan.
In the early hours of September 28, Khaparkheda police had received information that a truck with a Tempered registration number tried to provide coal on the KTPS.
The truck has a sticker on the registration number plate to hide its original number.
During the investigation, Khaparkheda police learned that high-grade coal brought from Gondegaon in a parked truck at Bhanegaon T-Point.
Another truck carrying low-quality coal, which has a sticker from the registration number parked at Bhanegaon T-Point, is heading to send a consignment at the KTPS, making it a big loss due to fraud.
Senior Police Inspector PM Bhatkar from Police Khaparkheda said the police had been tested and got the results of coal samples from two trucks.
“We have found that trucks that come from Mahalgaon have poor quality coal and prime facie should not be sent to KTPS.
What comes from Gondegaon is the desired quality,” he added.
Bhatkar said transportation contractors and many others were under our scanner for this fraud.
“We are investigating this case thoroughly and will arrest those who are guilty after all the evidence is collected,” he added.
