Nearly 100 quintal of wheat in sacks with government markings, allegedly to be black marketed, were seized from a tractor-trolley during a checking drive at Burja Road here, supplies officials said today.
"The police stopped the vehicle during a checking drive on Saturday evening and seized wheat sacks with government markings," government sources said.
On further investigation it was revealed that the wheat, which was meant for ration supply, was going to be delivered to a floor mill in Vrindavan, they said.
"A case has been lodged against the tractor driver, Bhupinder and a ration vendor, Pramod Kumar, who has been accused of black marketing," DSO Sunil Kumar said.
