3 held for LPG cylinder black marketing in Delhi
New Delhi (PTI): Three people have been arrested for allegedly hoarding and black marketing domestic LPG cylinders in southeast Delhi's Shaheen Bagh area, police said on Saturday.
According to the police, the accused were apprehended after a raid conducted by the crime branch at 40 Foota Road following a tip-off about illegal refilling and sale of subsidised LPG cylinders.
"A total of 108 LPG cylinders and two vehicles, including a small commercial carrier and a pickup van used for transportation, were recovered from their possession," the police officer said.
The accused have been identified as Kuldeep (35), Ashish (22) and Vijay (28), all residents of Faridabad in Haryana.
During the investigation, it was found that the accused procured domestic LPG cylinders meant for household use at subsidised rates and illegally transferred gas into other cylinders for sale in the open market at higher prices.
One of the accused, Kuldeep, was previously involved in a criminal case, police added. Further investigation is underway to identify the entire supply chain and other persons involved in the racket.
