It may be noted that the crime sized 19 tonnes of hand gloves in COVID period and other materials from a godown in Sajapur on August 22, 2020.
Police raided the godown owned by Ghulam Nabi Khan at gut no 53 at Sajapur-Dhanegaon and seized 19 tonnes of material. Khan had rented the godown to Afroz Shaikh Inayat. Afroz who was arrested, got bail.
Khan has paper cup making machine which was also kept in a section of the godown. Since his godown was sealed, he was unable to manufacture paper cups and facing finance problem.
