Guwahati, 7th April: In a significant operation led by Salbari sub-divisional police, two workers from a dhaba in Salbari have been apprehended on charges of pilfering oil from tankers along national highways. The proprietor of the dhaba, however, has managed to evade arrest.
The crackdown, spearheaded by Nilotpal Saikia, Baksa’s sub-divisional police officer, with assistance from the Shimlaguri police station’s officer-in-charge, culminated in a successful raid against oil theft conducted last night.
During the operation, authorities confiscated equipment and pipes used for siphoning oil from tankers traveling along the national highway originating from Motihari. This seizure also included oil containers from a dhaba located near the National Highway in Kaljhar, under the jurisdiction of the Govardhana police station.
Prior to the police’s arrival, Anesur Rahman, the proprietor of the dhaba, managed to flee the scene. However, two dhaba employees have been detained for interrogation in connection with the incident.
