The incident took place in Mumbai’s Port Zone, where smugglers stole oil from the company's oil pipelines via a coastal route with the help of few junior police officers. However, with the arrest of alleged kingpin of a diesel smuggling racket, Raju Pandit, it was believed that oil smuggling has been brought under control. But it was still active as the police constable was helping diesel smugglers to get away with the diesel.
