Srinagar, Aug 1: Police have seized more than hundred quintals of rice in Achabal area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district which was being illegally sold among people, an official said here today.
The official said that a truck driver, Mohammad Ashraf, was selling the rice among the people at Somran village of the district. “The driver had come from Punjab with the rice supply and he was supposed to unload the truck at Baramulla in North Kashmir. Instead of going to Baramulla, he started to sell the rice at Somran,” the official said.
As the police received information, the cops rushed to the spot and seized the truck (PB02BV 8258) along with the rice. “However, the driver, who hails from Chenani Jammu, managed to escape and is absconding,” the official said.
Meanwhile, police have registered a case under FIR number 68/2015 under Section 407 RPC, the official added.
