According to officials, a truck carrying coal from Western Coalfield Ltd's Gondegaon mine, meant for KTPS, was diverted to a private establishment while another truck laden with inferior quality coal arrived at KTPS for unloading.

Both trucks were bearing the same number plate and their GPS equipment was also manipulated, they said, adding that this may be a big scam as over 100 trucks transport coal to KTPS every day.

State-run MahaGenco had earlier lodged a complaint with Khaparkheda police station.
