A case was filed against two individuals in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, for allegedly causing a businessman to lose Rs 28.53 lakh in a light diesel oil supply fraud, according to police sources on Sunday, a report in PTI stated.
According to a police complaint submitted by the 31-year-old businessman, during a time of non-production at his chemical company in Taloja, a former employee and a vendor collaborated to obtain light diesel oil for the company without the required licence, the report added.
The oil obtained through this unauthorised method was later sold, resulting in considerable financial benefits for the accused and a loss of Rs 28,53,076 to the businessman's Nashik-based organisation, according to a Taloja police official.
The alleged fraudulent activities took place between March 2022 and September 2023, according to the businessman, the PTI report added.
According to the report, on Saturday, officials filed a case against the former employee and the vendor under sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code and contacted the police, citing the complaint.
