The police said that crude oil-like substance is coming out from the factory and there is a strong possibility that stolen crude oil was stored in the factory.
A major fire broke out in a factory located in Mahuwa area of Rajasthan's Dausa district, officials said on Saturday.
"It was a pattal- dona (plates) manufacturing unit which caught fire at around 3 am on Friday. Fire brigades were pressed into service but they could not control the fire after which fire brigades from Jaipur were also called," police said.
SHO Mahuwa Police Station Buddhi Prakash said that crude oil-like substance is coming out from the factory and there is a strong possibility that stolen crude oil was stored in the factory.
Police suspect that oil was allegedly stolen from a pipeline passing from about 100-metres away from the factory. The oil is the reason firefighters are finding it difficult to put out the fire, they said.
