Acting on a tip off, a special team of Delhi police arrested 26-year-old Ashish Gupta, a shopkeeper for allegedly selling sex toys and other pornographic materials in Palika Bazar in Connaught Place, Deputy Commissioner of Police S B S Tyagi said.

Gupta allegedly sold electronic sex toys, medicines, chewing-gums, cosmetics, sprays, pornographic films and other obscene material from his shop and used to store these articles in his car, he said.
