Some robbers had attacked a solar power plant in Ugras village in Phalodi last week. They had allegedly fired gunshots to threaten the guards at the plant and had decamped with a large number of solar plates, the police said.

According to the sources, both the officers had reported the incident to their immediate seniors but not the police control room, which led to delay in the police team reaching the spot.
