The jackets returned to a Kanpur-based manufacturing firm were from three different batches.
The police department had ordered 5,000 bullet-proof vests from the company, which also provides such jackets to other Central security forces, for Rs. 17 crore, but received 4600 pieces after factoring in Customs duty and other charges.
