The railway engine worth Rs 5 crore that went missing for more than three months has finally been brought to the city. After a case was registered at the Wadala TT police station by a contractor against a sub-contractor, Pawan Sharma, for not delivering the ZDM 3 engine, the cops summoned the former and learnt about the whereabouts of the engine. Fearing arrest, the sub-contractor saw to it that the engine was brought to Mumbai.

“After the accused was summoned and a police team was deputed to bring the engine to the city, the accused ensured that it was handed over to us. He has been called in for questioning but claims he didn’t cheat the contractor as he had lost money due to diesel expenses while transporting the engine,” said Dnyaneshwar Aargade, Senior Inspector of Wadala TT police station. “Railway officials were informed after which they came and inspected the engine” he added.
