A gas distribution agency manager in Goregaon, Mumbai, is booked following an allegation of misappropriating at least 5,800 gas cylinders worth about Rs 90 lakh, according to reports. The complaint is filed by the agency owner after discrepancies are found in the company’s cylinder records. The owner says hundreds of commercial cylinders are untraceable and that the quantity shown in documentation does not match what is reportedly available or accounted for.
After the issue is flagged internally and brought to the attention of police, the manager reportedly goes out of contact and does not respond, according to the accounts. Police then initiate an investigation to verify the claims, check the agency’s inventory and documentation, and determine how the missing cylinders were handled. The reports focus on the alleged mismatch in records and the number and estimated value of cylinders described as missing, with the case proceeding through the police investigation process.
