They were in one of four cartons sent from New Delhi to Mumbai by parcel train; firm that bought them received only three boxes

The thermometers are worth around Rs 3,000 each
A Mumbai-based essential equipment supplier has been running from pillar-to-post, after one of four cartons carrying infrared thermometers the firm was to receive from New Delhi, has gone missing. The cartons were transported on a New Delhi-Mumbai parcel train. Each thermometer was worth between Rs 2,500-Rs 3,000 and the missing box had 50 pieces.
"Everything is on record. We had booked four cartons from New Delhi to Mumbai Central on May 25, and received three cartons at Mumbai Central on May 28. A person from our team in New Delhi, Baliram, received a status message on his phone from the railways that four cartons were unloaded at Mumbai Central, but when my colleague, Pankaj Shinde, went to receive the parcels, he found one carton missing from the consignment," Pradeep Varsale of manufacturer and supplier firm Ankitst Exim said.
