It is the prosecution case that tankers containing edible oil were stopped near the restaurant and the driver and cleaner of such vehicles with collusion with some of the co accused 2 were fraudulently with dishonest intention have taken away the small quantity of crude palm oil from each tanker and were selling the same to the applicant. It is also contended that the oil owners have not filed any complaint. Since small quantity are being taken away from the tanker the modus operanti being followed was calculated is to avoid detention. I have perused the statement of co accused Rahees Mohammed Shaikh who has clearly involved the present applicant.
