The Story in Brief
An FIR has been registered against DMart Dahisar cashier Abhishek Maurya and customer Vikas Kanojia for fraud. The store's stock check in July revealed missing products. CCTV footage showed Maurya selling items without scanning on July 20 and 26.
On Aug 7, he again sold products without billing. Kanojia was stopped outside with 91 products; only 72 were billed. The 19 unbilled items, including garments and dry fruits, were worth nearly Rs 10,000. Police are investigating.
The Indian Opinion
This case may seem trivial, but regular shrinkage forces retailers to raise prices. Yet a full FIR for Rs 10,000 raises questions about proportionality. The court will decide if the cashier's two-year service and the customer's laundry profession affect sentencing. A better guard would be stronger in-store billing checks.
