Agartala: Two people, including an ONGC employee, have been arrested from West Tripura district for their alleged involvement in a fuel theft case. Police gave this information on Sunday.
He said the arrested persons – a “stock holder” of ONGC fuel station, Badarghat and a driver recruited through an agency – are currently in judicial custody.
The duo were arrested after ONGC officials lodged an FIR alleging that around 620 liters of diesel was stolen from a fuel station inside its premises in Badarghat.
Ranjit Debnath, officer-in-charge (OC) of Amtali police station, said that based on the complaint, a police team visited the ONGC premises and arrested both the accused.
