    Penalty should be 10 times of value of goods. Driver should be put in jail for 10 years. The people connecting to this theft should be punished by imposing penalty of 5 lacs each and 5 years of jail. Then only the fraud people can understand and other fraud people will not attempt to steal the goods which brought from tax payers money.
