Satish Patel, delivery man Natwar Chinu Angadia firm lodged the complaint with Varachha police. Police registered the value of the looted material at Rs 30,000 based on insurace taken on the goods.
However police officials informed that it is possible that the insurance was purchased for lesser amount and the actual value of the consignments could be much higher.
