Mumbai Police Probe Theft of 27 LPG Cylinders From Delivery Tempo

Investigators treat the case as a safety risk that could feed illegal gas resale.

Overview

  • The parked tempo in Charkop, Kandivali West lost 27 cylinders during the night of March 25–26, including five filled units.
  • Driver Nandkumar Ramraj Soni found the window shattered and the rear lock broken on Thursday morning and reported the theft.
  • Charkop Police registered an FIR against unknown persons and formed multiple teams that are reviewing nearby CCTV footage.
  • Officers are questioning people tied to scrap yards and alleged illegal gas networks to trace the cylinders.
