Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The owner of a transport company, the owner of a truck and its driver were booked with MIDC Waluj Police Station after a truck laden with goods worth Rs 7 lakh was found missing.

Canpac India of Waluj received orders from its Delhi branch to send goods to Hooghly (Kolkata, West Bengal) on June 10.
After receiving the orders, the transport company contacted Sandeep Singh of Vindhyavasini Transport Company in Nashik and asked him to send a truck to upload the goods from Waluj.
Sandeep Singh sent the truck (WB 19, L-1605) to Waluj for loading goods.
On the arrival of the truck at Waluj, Jai Bhagwan Sharma (Branch Manager, Returnable Logistics) verified the documents and details of driver Mahendra Kumar Shivraj Paswan ( Odisha), owner of the truck Suresh Gopal Shah (Kolkata).

Truck with goods disappeared
The goods were to be delivered to Kolkata on June 17. But, it did not happen. When Chandraprakash Chaubey of Returnable Logistics inquired with Sandeep Singh, he informed the former that the road was jammed and the truck would reach the destination late.
Even after a week, the goods were not delivered, so, Chaubey took follow up with Singh about the goods delivery. Singh told Chaubey that the driver was absconding and the truck was broken down. Chaubey realised the cheating when he received evasive replies from truck owner Suresh Shah and driver Mahendra Kumar.
