Police in Gujarat dismantled an illegal LPG refilling operation, arresting seven individuals involved in the scheme.
On a recent day, Gujarat police carried out a coordinated operation targeting an illegal LPG refilling racket operating across the state. The raid, conducted by the state’s anti-crime squad, uncovered a network that was illegally refilling LPG cylinders and selling them at a lower price.
Seven suspects were taken into custody during the operation. Authorities allege that the individuals were involved in the procurement, refilling, and distribution of the cylinders, thereby endangering public safety and violating regulatory norms.
The police have stated that the crackdown is part of a broader effort to eliminate illicit practices that compromise the safety of LPG users. The arrested persons are now facing charges under the Petroleum Act and related statutes.
Officials have urged the public to report any suspicious refilling activities and assured that further investigations will be carried out to prevent recurrence of such illegal operations.
