The Story in Brief
Mumbai's Vanrai police arrested two men from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on August 6 in connection with a Rs 94 lakh cheating case. The accused, Kamlesh Sahu, 39, a professor, and transporter Virendra Tanwar, had been on the run for nearly two years. They allegedly colluded with Dev Sharma, the zonal head of Box N Freight Logistics Solution, to create fake e-way bills and receipts showing goods were transported. No services were actually provided. Sharma was arrested earlier from Bengaluru and is in jail.
The Indian Opinion
The Vanrai police's arrest of a professor and a transporter shows the value of old-fashioned informant work when suspects go off-grid. But the real test is whether Mumbai police can pierce the larger network hinted at, Ravi Gupta and the shipping firm owners remain free. Extradition or cooperation from Chhattisgarh will decide if this is a genuine crackdown or just two heads rolling.
