Hyderabad: Three persons were arrested and about 131 quintals of rice meant for Public Distribution System (PDS) was seized from three illegal godowns during surprise raids conducted at Chandanagar, Lingampally and Yacharam under Cyderabad limits by Special Operations Team (SOT) sleuths on Tuesday.
The accused persons identified as Vijay Singh, 42, and Evidar Sadhasiv, 26, of Chandanagar were arrested and 110 bags each containing 50 kg of rice and two mini goods vehicle were seized from their rented godown. Similarly, Ram Singh, 40, was arrested from Lingampally and 280 bags each containing 25 kg or rice was seized from his possession.
In another raid, the sleuths arrested Kandhe Kumar, 30, from Yacharam and 12 bags each containing 50 kg of rice was seized. Acting on a tip-off, a special team under the supervision of Additional DCP, SOT, E Ramachandra Reddy, raided the godowns and found the PDS rice illegally stocked.
“Efforts are afoot to nab Jagan, who is absconding,” Reddy said. After preliminary enquiry, it was found that the accused used to purchase PDS rice for cheaper rates and would sell to rice millers of other districts and wholesale brokers for higher rates with an intention to make easy money. Cases were filed against them under Essential Commodities Act.
