Taking advantage of the ongoing LPG shortage, a gas cylinder delivery boy allegedly fled with more than 20 cylinders from a gas agency in Gajuwaka in the city.
According to sources, the delivery boy collected one-time passwords (OTPs) from customers on the pretext of completing deliveries. However, instead of supplying the cylinders, he is suspected to have diverted the filled cylinders taken from the agency and gone absconding.
The matter came to light after several consumers approached the agency office to enquire about their deliveries. They also reported that the delivery boy was not responding to phone calls, raising suspicions of foul play.
The agency representatives have lodged a complaint with the police.
