The Gorchuk Police Station team under West Guwahati Police District (WGPD) has made a significant breakthrough in a milk theft and fraud case. Kamal Kishor Upadhyay and Dilip Kumar Upadhyay, residents of Paschim Boragaon, were arrested for conspiring to steal two truckloads of powdered milk packets.
The investigation led to a raid in Umsning, Meghalaya, where a large quantity of stolen goods, valued at Rs30 lakhs, was recovered. During the raid, Harinder Prasad was also arrested in connection with the crime.
The theft occurred after the accused took advantage of a truck accident (registration number AS01 QC 6782) near Jowai. The truck, originally transporting goods from Betkuchi to Silchar, was involved in the accident, prompting the accused to steal the goods they were tasked to transport.
Legal proceedings have been initiated against the arrested individuals as per the law. The police are continuing their investigation into the case.
