Transporters are disputing allegations of "ghost trucks" used to siphon paddy, claiming their vehicle numbers were misused to create fake transportation records. An investigation revealed 118 trucks allegedly transported paddy from grain markets to mills, though transporters deny these trips occurred. They assert their trucks neither transported the grain nor claimed payments, and they are cooperating with investigations, providing GPS data to prove their vehicles were elsewhere. Transporters suggest system loopholes allowed for the misuse of their vehicle numbers.
