Guwahati, Apr 3: Assam police constable, along with three others, was caught red-handed while stealing fuel from an oil tanker (AS-16-AC-2800) coming out of Bongaigaon Refinery.

The fuel theft racket was busted in Dhaligaon in Assam’s Chirang district.

The police constable has been identified as Robin Gayari of Dhaligaon. The other accused are Bikram Das, Tanmoy Nath, and Nikunjan Nath.

After receiving information, a team led by Kajalgaon Police Station in-charge, Ritul Moni Das, raided a garage and caught the four individuals red-handed while siphoning fuel from the oil tanker.

What makes this case particularly shocking is that a police constable—expected to be a protector—turned into a thief.

Robin Gayari is a serving jawan of the Assam Police, posted at the Foreigners’ Tribunal Identification Branch in Bongaigaon.

His involvement in such an illegal act has triggered widespread reactions within the police department.

According to reports, the tanker was supposed to transport fuel from Bongaigaon Refinery to Guwahati, but Gayari allegedly used his influence to divert it to his garage, where he broke the refinery’s digital lock to steal fuel.

“The theft of oil through such practices has been ongoing. After receiving information, we conducted a raid and successfully nabbed the individuals involved in stealing fuel from the tanker,” said a police official.

Police investigations have revealed that Robin Gayari owns substantial assets, raising suspicions about his involvement in organized fuel theft.
